This flavorful couscous dish is made with a base of fluffy couscous cooked in chicken or vegetable stock, then tossed with a zesty mix of extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, and salt. Customize it with fresh herbs like coriander and parsley, or add sweetness with dried apricots, currants, and toasted almonds.

Notes

1. The ratio of liquid to couscous differs from brand to brand. But for most, 1:1 is the standard. If your packet says otherwise, follow the packet. If the packet doesn’t say, then use 1:1 and if it’s too firm for your taste, add more and soak again!

2. Nutrition per serving (145g / 5 oz per serve), for herbed couscous.
