Ingredients
- 1 cup pearl couscous
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 3/4 cups chicken broth or vegetable broth
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley chopped
- Zest of 1 lemon
- salt and pepper to taste

- Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the pearl couscous and toast, stirring frequently, until golden brown, about 3 to 4 minutes.
