Citrus Couscous with Feta and Peas
This is a really great for adding some pinache to a roasted chicken or grilled fish dinner
2/3 Cups of plain couscous
3 Tablespoons olive oil
1 Cup of low sodium chicken broth
2 Lemons
2/3 Cups frozen peas, defrosted
1/3 Cups crumbled Feta cheese
1/3 Cups bias chopped, fresh green onions
Salt and pepper to taste
Place broth in a sauce pan along with one tablespoon of olive oil and the zest of one lemon. Heat to boil. Add couscous, stir, cover and remove from heat. Let stand 5 minutes. While couscous sets up, zest the other lemon and set aside the zest. Juice the remaining lemon into a bowl and add the rest of the olive oil. Season with salt and pepper and whisk until well blended. When couscous is ready, fluff with a fork, add feta and peas then mix in olive oil lemon mixture. Once incorporated, mix in green onion and additional lemon zest. Serve immediately.
Serves 4
Cooks Note: The Couscous can be prepared ahead and heated up when ready. Make Couscous, fluff let cool and cover and refrigerate.When ready to serve heat in microwave 2 minutes and follow the rest of the steps.
Couscous is healty alternative to heavier carbs and is a blank canvas for just about anything. It is great with roasted cherry tomotoes and mushrooms, or as a cold salad with aspargus and grilled chicken. My husband loves it with brocoli and parmasean cheese.
