Mediterannean Couscous
by susanjm
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.
INGREDIENTS
- 1 cup Chicken Stock
- 1 cup Couscous
- 1 cup Tomatoes ; chopped
- 1/2 cup Green onions ; thinly sliced
- 3 tablespoons Roasted garlic olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Parsley ; chopped
- 2 tablespoon Fresh Lemon Juice
- salt and pepper ; to taste
INSTRUCTIONS
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.
