Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup slivered almonds
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
1 large red onion, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
4 cups chicken (or vegetable) broth
Salt and pepper, to taste
2 cups durum wheat couscous
1/3 cup chopped parsley, plus more to garnish
2/3 cup golden raisins

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Place the almonds on a shallow baking pan and bake until lightly brown, about 5 minutes. Reserve.
  • Heat the butter on a large skillet, over medium high heat. Once melted, add the onion and garlic, and sauté until softened, about 2 minutes.
  • Add the broth, salt and pepper, and bring to a boil. Remove the pan from the stove and add the couscous all at once. Cover and let it sit for 10 minutes.
  • Fluff the couscous with a fork. Taste for seasoning and adjust salt and pepper as needed. Then, add the parsley, almonds and raisins, stirring to combine.
  • Garnish with more parsley, if desired, and serve!
