Ingredients

1 tablespoon butter
1 teaspoon olive oil
2 tablespoons diced shallot
1 tablespoon lemon zest
1 clove garlic, minced
1 cup Israeli couscous
1 ½ cups low-sodium chicken broth
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons capers
1 teaspoon caper brine
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese, or more to taste
4 wedge (blank)s lemon wedges

Steps:

Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as an Instant Pot®), and select Saute function. Heat butter and oil until butter is melted. Add shallot, lemon zest, and garlic; cook until garlic is translucent, 1 to 2 minutes. Add couscous and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned and toasted, about 2 minutes. Turn off Saute function.
Pour in chicken broth and lemon juice. Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 5 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
Carefully release pressure using the quick-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid, and stir in the capers and caper brine.
Garnish with parsley and Parmesan cheese. Serve with lemon wedges.
