Curried Chikken Couscous

As my dad hates couscous (don't ask me why), I never had it as a kid, and I've never really used it. But it's on Core, so I bought a box, and decided, tonight was the night to make it. So, I went searching, and found a trove of recipes on NearEast.com (which is a couscous manufacturer). I adapted this one to make :
Curried Chikken Couscous
1/2 C Quorn Tenders
2 teaspoons curry powder, divided
2 tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil, divided
1/2 chopped onion
2 C veggie stock
1 C broccoli flowerets, or just cut up broccoli works fine (I had a bag of frozen broc. pieces, so i've got bits of the stem in. works fine, tastes fine, just isn't as pretty
1/2 C chopped red bell pepper ( I just tossed in the Trader Joe's Melange a Trois)
1/3 C raisins
2 tsp firmly packed brown sugar
1/2 C Plain Couscous
In a small saucepan, simmer quorn pieces in about a half cup veggie broth, and 1 tsp curry powder.
3. Heat remaining olive oil in skillet. Add onion; sauté 2 minutes, stirring frequently. Add remaining broth, broccoli, red bell pepper, raisins, brown sugar, remaining 1 teaspoon curry powder, and to skillet; bring to a boil. Stir in couscous; cover. Remove from heat; let stand 5 minutes. Toss couscous lightly with a fork before serving.
WW points on Core: .5 for the Quorn, 2 pts for the raisins, and .5 for the brown sugar.. Recipe makes 2 servings, so 1.5 total.
