Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 cups pearl couscous
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil leaves
1/4 cup chopped fresh chives
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley leaves
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill fronds
1 tablespoon lemon zest and 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice from 1 to 2 lemons

Steps:

  • In a medium saucepan, bring 2 1/2 cups water, the butter and 1 teaspoon salt to a boil over medium-high heat. Once the water is boiling, add the couscous.

Tips:

  • To ensure the freshest and best-tasting tuna, purchase sushi-grade tuna steaks or loins.
  • For optimal results, use high-quality Dijon mustard. Look for brands with a robust flavor and a smooth texture.
  • If you prefer a milder mustard flavor, substitute yellow mustard for the Dijon mustard.
  • Customize the herbs in the couscous to your preference. Consider options like cilantro, mint, or parsley for a refreshing twist.
  • Feel free to adjust the amount of lemon juice and honey in the dressing to suit your taste.
  • For a quicker preparation, use pre-cooked couscous. Simply follow the package instructions for reheating.
  • Garnish the dish with fresh herbs, such as chives, dill, or parsley, before serving for an extra pop of flavor and color.
