Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 c dry couscous
1 c chicken stock
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 onion, minced
2 Tbsp butter
1/3 c grated parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • 1. Melt butter in a saucepan on medium heat. Add garlic and onions and saute until soft. Add chicken stock and bring to a boil. Add couscous. Cover and remove from heat. Let stand for five minutes, then fluff with a fork.
  • 2. Add remaining ingredients: pepper, balsamic vinegar, and grated Parmesan. Fluff again and serve while hot. DO NOT overcook. It will become a gloppy mess if you allow it to sit too long. Yummy add-ins include feta or goat cheese, basil, parsley, diced or sun-dried tomatoes.
