Lemon Couscous

Ingredients

• 1 cup chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon lemon zest
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 2/3 cup couscous
• 1 (2 ounce) jar sliced pimento peppers, drained
• 2 tablespoons toasted pine nuts
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Directions

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.

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