Yield 4 people

Number Of Ingredients 12

• Finely diced shallot
• Chopped fresh parsley
• Chopped fresh dill
• Chopped fresh chives
• Capers (as much as you want)
• 1 cup extra-virgin olive oil
• ½ cup red wine vinegar
• ¼ cup fresh lemon juice
• 2 teaspoons honey
• Finely Minced Garlic to taste (I used a micro-place to finely grate the garlic)
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 2 teaspoons pepper

Steps:

  • Pour chicken broth into heavy sauce pan and bring to a boil. Stir in the Israeli couscous and cook according to package (8-10 min). Allow to cool slightly on a sheet pan before combining. Toss in small amount of olive oil to keep couscous from sticking together. Add the following to the couscous: • Finely diced shallot • Chopped fresh parsley • Chopped fresh dill • Chopped fresh chives • Capers (as much as you want) Toss couscous with the red wine vinaigrette. Add as much as you like. The couscous tends to absorb it. Red Wine Vinaigrette: • 1 cup extra-virgin olive oil • ½ cup red wine vinegar • ¼ cup fresh lemon juice • 2 teaspoons honey • Finely Minced Garlic to taste (I used a micro-place to finely grate the garlic) • 2 teaspoons salt • 2 teaspoons pepper Note: The red wine vinaigrette recipe above makes enough for 2 packages of Israeli couscous. They come in 8.8oz bags.
