Lebanese Couscous in Soup Serves 4
Ingredients
2 tablespoons olive oil
½ small onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 cup Lebanese couscous
3 cups stock (vegetable or chicken)
1 tbsp. butter
3 tbsp. chopped fresh parsley
3 tbsp. chopped fresh coriander
1 tbsp. chopped fresh mint
Rind of 1 lemon, finely grated
Juice of 1 lemon
Salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
In medium saucepan, heat olive oil and sauté onions and garlic until soft but not browned. In another saucepan, bring to boil 2 quarts water. Add couscous and cook for 5 minutes, then drain. Add stock and drained couscous to onion mixture. Bring to boil and then reduce heat to simmer and cook for 20-25 minutes, stirring regularly. The couscous should become tender and most of the liquid absorbed. Stir in butter, herbs, lemon rind and juice, salt and pepper. Add chunks of poached chicken or strips of grilled vegetables, if desired.
