Couscous Recipe With Cranberries Recipe For Hand

COUSCOUS WITH CRANBERRIES AND ALMONDS

Steps:

• In a large skillet or saucepan, heat oil on medium heat. Add sliced onions and cook, stirring often, until they are transparent and begin to brown.
• Stir in the sliced almonds and continue to cook for a few minutes. The almonds will toast and start to brown as well.
• Add the couscous cranberries. This will toast the couscous which add to the flavour and prevents it from being clumpy in when done. Stir almost constantly for a few minutes so that the couscous grains do not burn on the bottom of the pan.
• Add the broth/water and lemon zest. Since the couscous is hot, the broth will start to boil immediately. Give is a quick stir and put the cover on the pan.
• Remove from the heat and let stand for 5 minutes. After the 5 minutes, fluff the couscous with a fork.
