Number Of Ingredients 8

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 shallot, finely chopped
1 cup Israeli couscous
1 1/2 cups Homemade Chicken Stock, or canned low-sodium chicken broth, skimmed of fat
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 tablespoon lemon zest
2 teaspoons chopped fresh mint
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • In medium saucepan over medium-low heat, heat olive oil. Add shallot; cook until translucent but not browned, 3 to 5 minutes. Add couscous; stir to coat with oil. Add stock, cover, reduce heat to low, and cook, stirring occasionally, until couscous is soft and all liquid has been absorbed, about 15 minutes.
  • Remove couscous from heat; stir in lemon juice, lemon zest, and mint. Season to taste with salt and pepper, and serve.
