Lemon herb couscous is an easy 10 minute side dish. It's quick, flavorful, and a great way to use up herbs in the fridge. It makes 2 servings for even easier leftovers for the week. It's delicious with Instant Pot Fish, grilled pork chops, etc.
1-2tablespoonschopped parsley leavesor other herbs (rosemary, dill, etc)
Instructions
Bring ¾ cup water to a boil. Once water is at a rolling boil, turn off heat and remove pot from heat.
Add ½ c couscous, ½ teaspoon chicken bouillon, and ¼ teaspoon salt to boiling water. Stir and cover for 5 minutes. Chop 1-2 T of parsley leaves, set aside.
Remove lid and stir to fluff couscous. Once all water has been absorbed, add in parsley leaves and 1 T of lemon juice. Stir together and serve with your main dish immediately.
Notes
Don't have chicken bouillon, use ¾ c of chicken broth or stock instead of water and chicken bouillon.
Completely remove parsley leaves from stalks, they're tough and don't taste that great.
Add parsley slowly and taste if you're not sure how much parsley you'd like in it.
