ABOUT:
When I first made couscous it was blend and tasteless, soon I realized that couscous comes in with variety of flavors and spices. After long search for a great couscous Ina Garten has been my favorite recipe so far.
INGREDIENTS:
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
3/4 cup chopped shallots
3 cups Homemade Chicken Stock, recipe follows, or canned broth
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 1/2 cups couscous
1/2 cup pignoli nuts, toasted
1/4 cup currants
DIRECTIONS:
Melt the butter in a large saute pan, add the shallots and cook for 3 minutes over medium heat. Add the chicken stock, salt and pepper, raise the heat to high and bring the stock to a boil. Off the heat and add the couscous.
Cover the pan and let it sit for 10 minutes.
Add the pignoli nuts and currants to the couscous, stir and serve.
