Mediterranean Couscous

When I was in Boston last month, my cousin made this amazing Mediterranean Couscous dish that she found on Pinterest! It's the perfect summer meal - very light, filling, and only takes fifteen minutes to make! Enjoy!

Ingredients:
  • 1 (32 Ounce) Container Chicken Stock
  • 1 Cup Mediterranean (Israeli) Couscous
  • 1 Cup Diced Roasted Red Pepper 
  • 1 Cup Coarsely Chopped Arugula
  • 1 Tbsp Finely Chopped Fresh Basil
  • 1 Cup Diced Fresh Mozzarella Cheese
  • 1 Tsp Kosher Salt
  • 1 Tsp Freshly Ground Black Pepper
  • 1 Clove Garlic, minced
  • 1 Lemon Zest & Juice

Directions:
1. Bring the chicken stock to a boil in a medium sized saucepan. Stir in the couscous and reduce the heat to medium. Cook for five minutes. Drain couscous and transfer to a large bowl.
2. Stir the red pepper, arugula, basil, mozzarella cheese, salt, pepper, garlic, and lemon into the bowl with the couscous. Serve warm or chilled!
