Best Couscous With Peas And Parmesan Recipes
WHOLE-WHEAT COUSCOUS WITH PARMESAN & PEAS
Couscous, which is actually a type of tiny pasta, makes an almost-instant side dish. Happily, the whole-wheat variety is just as fast to prepare as regular couscous. Lemon zest is a delicious accent to nutty Parmesan in this Italian-inspired couscous.

COUSCOUS WITH PEAS AND PARMESAN
A simple, easy side dish. Perfect with fish or chicken. Cooks super fast.... note: After reading that this was coming out dry, I remade it to see what was wrong. I think it should be solved by increasing the broth to 1 and a half cups or even just 1 and one fourth. You can also add a little more broth after you remove it from heat and adjust to your taste.

COUSCOUS WITH PARMESAN AND PEAS
Very fast, easy, cheap, and delicious. Really, those are my only four requirements of a recipe. Is that so much to ask? originally from foodnetwork.com. The suggested whole wheat couscous, and I used it since I've got it, but regular couscous could easily be subbed. For wont of lemon zest, I cooked my peas in a little bit of lemon juice. 1/2 cup of cheese is a lot, IMO.
