Ingredients
- COUSCOUS:
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- 2 cups Israeli couscous
- 4 cups chicken broth low-sodium
- 1/4 cup parsley chopped fresh flat-leaf
- 1 1/2 Tbsp rosemary chopped fresh leaves
- 1 tsp thyme chopped fresh leaves
- 1 apple cored and diced, medium green
- 1 pear diced, medium red
- 1 cup dried cranberries
- 2 green onions thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup almonds toasted, sliced
- VINAIGRETTE:
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 3 Tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- lemon zest of 1/2
- cup olive oil scant 1/4
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil and spread out sliced almonds in a single layer. Bake 8 minutes, or until golden brown and fragrant. Set aside to cool.
- Add olive oil to a saucepan and heat over MED or MED-HIGH heat. Pour in dry couscous and toast by stirring occasionally until couscous is lightly golden and smells nutty (about 4-5 minutes).
- Add chicken broth, stir, and bring to a boil. Cover and simmer for 10-12 minutes, until broth has cooked off.
- Place cooked couscous in a bowl and set aside until cool.
- Add in parsley, rosemary, thyme, apple, pear, cranberries, green onions and toasted almonds, and toss to combine.
- To a small mixing bowl, add all vinaigrette ingredients except olive oil. Pour in the olive oil, while whisking, and continue to whisk until smooth.
- Pour over couscous and toss again to combine.
Notes
- Can be served warm, room temperature or cold** other dried fruits can be substituted for the dried cranberries if desired.** recipe adapted from Giada De Laurentiis
