Ingredients
- 2 cups whole wheat couscous
- 2 cups chicken stock
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons butter (divided)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh Italian parsley (roughly chopped)
Instructions
- In a medium size pot, bring the broth, olive oil, one tablespoon of butter and seasonings to a boil.
- Add the couscous, stir quickly to combine, cover and let sit for 5 minutes.
- Transfer the cooked couscous to a large bowl.
- Add the rest of the butter (I cut mine up), Parmesan cheese and parsley.
- Using a fork to fluff the couscous until the butter is melted and everything is evenly combined. This may take a minute or two. Make sure you don't use a spoon, because it will make the couscous clump together rather than keeping it light and fluffy.
- Adjust the seasonings to taste. You can add more salt and or pepper until it suites your tastes.
- This makes a large portion and will easily feed 6-8 people depending on portion size. This works great for my family, but if you prefer a smaller amount, you could easily cut the recipe in half.
- Also, I used whole wheat, but you can use any kind of couscous. Make sure you check the amount of liquid instructed for the brand of couscous you buy. My couscous was a 1:1 ratio, but each type may be different.
Notes
- This Couscous recipe makes a tasty side dish for just about any meal!
