Bahan-bahan

4 porsi

2 tablespoons butter
2 large cloves garlic, pressed or minced
1 1/2 cups (8 ounces) pearl couscous
2 cups chicken stock
1/4 teaspoon each: fine sea salt and freshly-ground black pepper
1 cup (1 ounce) freshly-grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional)

Langkah-langkah

Melt the butter in a medium sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and sauté for 1 minute, stirring frequently. Add the couscous and sauté for about 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until lightly toasted.
Add the chicken stock, salt, pepper and stir to combine. Continue cooking until the broth reaches a simmer. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover the pan with a lid, and simmer for about 10-12 minutes until the liquid is mostly absorbed and the couscous is al dente, stirring occasionally. (If it seems like the couscous needs more liquid to finish cooking, you can add ¼ cup of additional chicken stock or water.)
Add the Parmesan cheese and lemon juice and stir until evenly combined. Taste and season with additional salt, pepper and/or lemon juice if needed.
Serve. Serve warm and enjoy!
