Couscous With Scallions And Toasted Almonds

By Christy Rost

Couscous with Scallions and Toasted Almonds is ready in 10 minutes! This tasty side dish gets all dressed up, thanks to the nutty flavor of golden toasted almonds.

Ingredients:

1		tablespoon olive oil
5		scallions, sliced (green and white parts)
3		tablespoons slivered almonds
1		cup chicken broth
¼		teaspoon salt
¾		cup plain couscous

Preheat a medium saucepan over medium heat, add olive oil, and swirl to coat the bottom of the pan. Add sliced scallions and slivered almonds, and cook the mixture until the almonds are brown and lightly toasted, stirring frequently.

Add chicken broth and salt, cover, and bring to a boil. When the mixture is boiling, stir in the couscous, cover, and remove it from the heat. Set it aside 5 to 10 minutes until all the broth is absorbed. Just before serving, fluff the couscous with a fork.
