Perfect CousCous Side dish


This couscous dish is a perfect way to boost your meal. It goes great with many dishes - in fact, we had it with meatballs tonight and we all loved it. I had never tried couscous before so I wasn't sure how it would turn out but the outcome was unbelievable.

Couscous side dish

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups chicken broth
1/4 tsp ground pepper
1 cup uncooked couscous
2 tbsp lemon juice
1/4 cup chopped fresh or dried parsley
1 tbsp finely chopped green onions
2 tbsp pine nuts
(Optional) 1 1/2 cups California seedless grapes (I didn't use it this time)

Direction:

Bring broth and pepper to a boil in a small saucepan.

Add couscous and lemon juice; mix well. Cover. Remove from the heat and let stand for 5 minutes.

Add remaining ingredients and toss lightly to mix.

Serve warm.
