Directions

  1. Stir chicken broth, lemon juice, lemon zest, butter, and salt together in a saucepan, bring to a boil. Add couscous to the liquid and stir to coat completely. Place a cover on the saucepan, remove from heat, and let couscous soak in hot liquid until the moisture is mostly absorbed, about 5 minutes.

  2. Fluff couscous with a fork. Stir pimento peppers, pine nuts, and parsley into the couscous.

Recipe Note

This is light and fresh and accompanies fish (i.e. habanero-lime butter grilled salmon) and chicken well. It is a refreshing change to the rice or potato side dish, and everyone always loves it.
