ISRAELI COUSCOUS WITH MINT AND LEMON

Serves 4

Israeli couscous has round grains about the size of small peas. If you use smaller-grained

couscous, shorten the cooking time.

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 shallot, finely chopped

1 cup Israeli couscous

1 1/2 cups Homemade Chicken Stock , or canned low-sodium chicken broth, skimmed of fat

2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice

1 tablespoon lemon zest

2 teaspoons chopped fresh mint

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

1. In medium saucepan over medium-low heat, heat olive oil. Add shallot; cook until translucent

but not browned, 3 to 5 minutes. Add couscous; stir to coat with oil. Add stock, cover, reduce heat

to low, and cook, stirring occasionally, until couscous is soft and all liquid has been absorbed,

about 15 minutes.

2. Remove couscous from heat; stir in lemon juice, lemon zest, and mint. Season to taste with

salt and pepper, and serve.
