4 servings
- 1 tablespoon butter
- ½ cup chopped shallots
- 1½ cups Israeli couscous
- 1 whole cinnamon stick
- 1 whole bay leaf
- 1¾ cups chicken broth
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons freshly chopped parsley
- ⅓ cup pine nuts, (toasted (see *Tips below))
- ½ medium lemon, (zested)

Steps
Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the shallots and sauté until golden. Add couscous, cinnamon stick and bay leaf, and stir often until the couscous browns slightly. Add the broth and the salt, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover and simmer until the liquid is absorbed and couscous is tender (about 10 minutes or so).
Remove the pan from heat and stir in parsley, pine nuts, lemon zest and raisins.
