Time 30m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil (plus 1/4 cup)
2 cloves garlic (minced)
1 1-pound box Israeli couscous, (fregola, or orzo)
3 cups chicken or vegetable stock
2 lemons, (juiced)
1 lemon, (zested)
1/2 teaspoon salt

Reduce the heat and simmer, covered, until the couscous is tender, but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally, about 8 to 10 minutes. Drain the couscous.

  • Once the couscous is room temperature, add the fresh herbs, dried cranberries, and almonds. Toss to combine and serve.
