Here's a speedy way to prepare pearl couscous as a side dish, simple enough to serve any night of the week. Instead of parsley, try chives, dill or basil.

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3/4 cup finely chopped onions
  • pinch salt
  • pinch pepper
  • 1-1/2 cups pearl couscous
  • 2-1/4 cups vegetable stock or low-sodium chicken stock
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley

Preparation

In saucepan, melt butter over medium heat; fry garlic, onions, salt and pepper, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 3 minutes. Add couscous; stir until lightly toasted, about 2 minutes.

Add stock and bring to boil; reduce heat, cover and simmer until liquid is absorbed and couscous is tender but firm, about 10 minutes. Stir in parsley.
