Herbed Couscous
Truth be told we never had this in Morocco, it was always plain couscous… but you know I love to put my west coast spin on everything so we’re making Herbed Couscous from now on!
Servings: 8 people
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups dried couscous
- 1 ½ cups water
- 1 cup of chopped mixed fresh herbs mint, parsley and chives
- 1 lemon juiced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper
Instructions
- Combine the couscous and water in a medium pot and cook according to the package directions. Once cooked, let sit for 10 minutes and then fluff with a fork.
- Toss with all of the herbs, lemon juice, olive oil, salt and pepper. Serve alongside the rest of the meal
Notes
This is a perfect alternative to rice when serving chicken, especially if it has a sauce.
