Creamy One Pot Parmesan & Pea Couscous
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 1 ½ c israeli couscous
- 3 c water
- 1 clove garlic smashed
- 1 ½ c frozen peas
- ¼-½ c chicken broth
- 2 tbsp parmesan
- ½ tsp lemon zest about ½ lemon
Instructions
- Add couscous, water, smashed garlic, and salt to a stock pot.
- Bring to a boil over medium high heat, stirring occasionally so the couscous doesn't stick together or to the bottom of the pot.
- Once boiling, reduce heat to medium low and add the peas and 1/4 c chicken broth to the pot. Continue cooking until couscous is al dente and liquid has been absorbed into a creamy sauce (about another 8-10 minutes). If your couscous seems to be soaking up the liquid too quickly, and it's not finished cooking, add an additional 1/4 c of broth and cook until al dente.
- Turn off the heat and stir in parmesan until melted and incorporated. Sprinkle zest over the top, serve up and enjoy!
