I am always looking for another way to add whole grain to our diets so when I saw whole wheat Israeli Couscous I grabbed it and ran. Here's what I came up with.
1 cup whole wheat Israeli Couscous
1 1/4 cup chicken stock
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon butter or margarine
3 large shallots, peeled and sliced
1/3 cup fresh Italian Parsley chopped
juice of 1/2 a lemon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon thyme
In a heavy sauce pot heat the oil and butter. Add the sliced shallots and cook over medium/high heat for 3-5 minutes until the shallots are browned. Add the stock and bring to a boil. Add salt, pepper and thyme and the couscous. Lower heat to simmer and cook stirring occasionally until all the liquid is absorbed about 5-8 minutes. Add the parsley and lemon juice and serve.
