Yield 3

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup water
1 teaspoon dried savory
1 teaspoon dried parsley
1 pinch crushed red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon chicken bouillon granules
½ cup pearl (Israeli) couscous
1 lemon, zest grated
½ cup toasted slivered almonds
½ cup chopped celery
⅓ cup chopped onion
½ tomato, seeded and chopped

Steps:

  • Bring the water to a boil in a saucepan, reduce heat to medium-low, and stir in the savory, parsley, red pepper flakes, and chicken bouillon granules until the granules dissolve.
