Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1½ cup pearl couscous
- 500 grams Spanish chorizo
- 2 cups chicken stock
- 1½ teaspoons smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 pinch saffron threads
- 540 mL chickpeas
- 341 mL corn
Instructions
- On medium heat, add the olive oil to the pan along with the dried pearl couscous and chorizo. Saute the ingredients for around 5 minutes.
- Add in the chicken stock.
- Add the salt, smoked paprika, and saffron to the pan, and stir to combine.
- Simmer the pot over medium-low heat for 15 minutes, stirring throughout so the couscous doesn’t stick to the bottom.
- Once the couscous has absorbed all of the liquid, add a pinch more salt if needed.
- Add the chickpea and corn to the pan and stir to combine.
- Finish the couscous dish with a splash of lemon juice. Garnish with chives if desired.
Notes
- Closer to 5 servings if you eat like my partner but 6 servings for myself!
