Lemon Couscous Recipe

Step 1

Heat olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat.

Step 2

Add garlic and saute until fragrant (not toasting and browning or it will be bitter!), about 20 seconds.

Step 3

Remove from heat, pour in chicken broth, lemon zest, lemon juice and season with salt to taste. Place over medium-high heat and bring to a boil.

Step 4

Pour in couscous, stir then remove from heat and immediately cover with lid. Let rest 4 - 5 minutes off heat.

Step 5

Add parsley and fluff with a fork. Finish with a little more olive oil or broth to moisten if desired and serve warm.
