LEMON INFUSED COUSCOUS PEARLS



Lemon Infused Couscous Pearls image

Provided by Mila

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup Israeli couscous
1 tbsp of butter
1 small shallot (finely diced)
zest of half a lemon (plus more for garnish)
1 1/4 cup chicken stock or water
1/4 Parmesan (shredded plus more for garnish)
1 tbsp of parsley finely chopped as a garnish

Steps:

  • Heat small pot with a tablespoon of butter, 1 shallot and the zest of half a lemon.
  • Over medium heat, we are going to melt the butter and let the butter get infused with the flavors of the shallot and the lemon zest. Give this about 3 minutes. Again, you are sweating the aromatics not browning them.
  • Throw in a cup of your Israel couscous and toss everything together, ensuring your couscous is covered by the shallot and butter mixture. Essentially you are toasting them a bit. Do this for about 2 minutes.
  • Pour in 1 and 1/4 cups of chicken broth, stock or water. I find the chicken stocks and broths give it a more savory flavor. Season with salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook, covered for 10 minutes.
  • Fluff with a fork. This will ensure you have light and fluffy individual grains. Sprinkle in 1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese and mix with a fork. Taste for seasoning.
  • Serve in a bowl with some more lemon zest, chopped parsley and nice shredding of Parmesan cheese on top.

  • 2. Pat the chicken dry and trim excess fat. On a sheet pan, coat the chicken with 3 tablespoons oil, then season with salt, pepper, cumin, turmeric and oregano. Add the lemon slices and garlic, coating them in the oil on the bottom of the pan. Cook until the chicken juices run clear when pierced with a knife, 30-35 minutes. If the skin isn't as crispy as you'd like, then place under the broiler for 1-2 minutes.
  • 3. About 15 minutes after the chicken has been in the oven, in a saucepan over medium heat, toast the couscous until lightly browned and fragrant, stirring occasionally, 3-4 minutes. Add 2 cups of water, 1 teaspoon salt, and cover and adjust the heat to bring it to a boil, then reduce the heat to maintain an active simmer. Cook covered until the couscous is just tender, about 8-10 minutes, until most of the water is absorbed. Add the spinach to the pot, allowing it to wilt, about 1 minute more. Drain excess water in a colander, then run through with olive oil in the sink, stirring to combine. Transfer to a serving bowl and add the olives and lemon zest.
  • 4. Place the chicken and half of the lemon slices and garlic (or discard) on a serving plate. Transfer the remaining lemons to the couscous. Add the lemon juice to the existing sheet-pan juices, using a rubber spatula or wooden spoon to scrape up anything on the bottom of the pan. Pour most of the mixture over the couscous, stirring to combine, and drizzle the remaining over the chicken. You want the couscous to be lightly coated with the liquid but not swimming in it.
