2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil

1 1/4 cups low-sodium chicken broth (or vegetable broth)

1 tsp lemon zest

2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice

Salt

2 Tbsp chopped fresh parsley, (or more to taste, optional*)

Instrucțiuni

Heat olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat.

Add garlic and saute until fragrant (not toasting and browning or it will be bitter!), about 20 seconds.

Remove from heat, pour in chicken broth, lemon zest, lemon juice and season with salt to taste. Place over medium-high heat and bring to a boil.

Pour in couscous, stir then remove from heat and immediately cover with lid. Let rest 4 - 5 minutes off heat.

Add parsley and fluff with a fork. Finish with a little more olive oil or broth to moisten if desired and serve warm.
