Mediterannean Couscous

Easy and quick, this recipe was adapted from one on the back of the box of couscous. This was absolutely delicious with the Moroccan sausages known as merguez.

"I didn't have regular couscous so I used the box variety ( Parmesan flavor ) but still used all the other ingredients. It was very tasty. Might use a lil less lemon next time or maybe even a balsamic vinaigrette instead of the oil/lemon juice. Definitely a keeper" - Love7721

Servings          
Original recipe makes 4
1 cupChicken Stock
1 cupCouscous
1 cupTomatoes; chopped
1/2 cupGreen onions; thinly sliced
3 tablespoonsRoasted garlic olive oil
2 tablespoonsParsley; chopped
2 tablespoonFresh Lemon Juice
salt and pepper; to taste

Mediterannean Couscous Preparation

Small tomatoes cut in halves or quarters work best for this recipe.

Bring chicken stock to a boil. Remove from heat and stir in couscous. Cover and let stand 5 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl and fluff with a fork. Cool to room temperature, about 10 minutes. Stir in remaining ingredients one at a time.

Notes

The original recipe called for 1/4c of oil (which I reduced to 3T) and 1T of lemon juice (which I increased to 2T). Next time I think I'll reduce the oil further.

Fantastic. I used the Near East brand Roasted Garlic and Olive Oil couscous and also added artichoke hearts. Amazing!

Love making couscous. I usually double or even tripple the lime, green onions and tomatos for lots of flavor.

I just love this recipe! It is so hard to find couscous recipes that are not dry. This recipe is full of texture and flavor and is very quick and easy.
