Equipment

  • Stovetop Pot
  • Small skillet

Ingredients
  

  • 1½ cups dry couscous
  • 2 cups vegetable broth
  • 2 tbsp avocado oil
  • 2 medium garlic cloves minced
  • ⅓ cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tsp pink salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 4 tbsp fresh parsley chopped

Instructions
 

  • Cook the couscous according to the instructions on the package, using broth instead of water to cook. This will take about 15 minutes to boil the broth, then add the couscous and let it absorb the water and fluff up.
  • Once this is done, transfer the couscous in a bowl.
  • In a small skillet over medium heat, add the avocado oil.
  • Once heated, add in the garlic. Cook it for 1-2 minutes, until lightly browned.
  • Remove the garlic from the heat and toss it with the couscous in the bowl.
  • Add in the remaining ingredients, tossing the couscous to fully coat it.
  • Transfer to an airtight container and place in the refrigerator until ready to eat. Bring to room temperature when serving. Enjoy!
