Lemony Herb Couscous

Couscous often gets forgotten about and honestly, we don't know why. It's much easier to make than most grains or pastas. A simple drizzle of olive oil and lemon juice is our favorite way to serve it, but the possibilities are endless.

Ingredients

1 c. couscous
1 1/2 c. low-sodium chicken broth 
2 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil 
Juice of 1/2 a lemon
2 tbsp. freshly chopped parsley 
Kosher salt 
Freshly ground black pepper
Pinch red pepper flakes 

Directions

Step 1
Rinse couscous under cold water until water runs clear. 

Step 2
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, bring broth to a boil. Add couscous, then cover with a lid and remove from heat. Let sit 10 minutes, then fluff with a fork. 

Step 3
Add oil, lemon juice, and parsley. Season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of red pepper flakes.
