Description

This Lemony Israeli Couscous is super easy to make. We added a light flavor with some shallots, lemon juice and toasted almond. This recipe is featured in our Cherry Sauce over Broiled Salmon.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • ½ half of lemon juice
  • ½ cup sliced almond
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 2 ¼ cups pearl (Israeli) couscous (12 oz)
  • 2 ¾ cups reduced-sodium chicken broth (14 fl oz)
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 shallot

Instructions

  1. Heat 2 teaspoons olive oil in a 3-quart heavy saucepan over medium heat.
  2. Add the shallots and sauté for 1 minute
  3. Then toast couscous & sliced almond, stirring constantly until fragrant and a pale golden color - between 3 to 5 minutes.
  4. Pour in chicken broth, and add the salt. Cover and simmer on low heat until liquid is absorbed and couscous is al dente; 10 to 12 minutes. (I prefer mine more on the tender side)
  5. Remove from heat and let stand covered for 10 minutes.
  6. Add the lemon juice. Adjust the salt as needed
