Whole-Wheat Couscous With Parmesan & Peas

This Recipe Is:

WebMD Recipe from EatingWell.com

Couscous, which is actually a type of tiny pasta, makes an almost-instant side dish. Happily, the whole-wheat variety is just as fast to prepare as regular couscous. Lemon zest is a delicious accent to nutty Parmesan in this Italian-inspired couscous.

Ingredients

Prep: 15 Minutes | Total Time: 20 Minutes

1 14-ounce can
reduced-sodium chicken broth, or vegetable broth
1/4 cup
water
2 teaspoons
extra-virgin olive oil
1 cup
whole-wheat couscous
1 1/2 cups
frozen peas
2 tablespoons
chopped fresh dill
1 teaspoon
freshly grated lemon zest
1/2 cup
freshly grated Parmesan cheese
salt & freshly ground pepper, to taste

Instructions

Combine broth, water and oil in a large saucepan; bring to a boil. Stir in couscous and remove from heat. Cover and let plump for 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, cook peas on the stovetop or in the microwave according to package directions.
Add the peas, dill, lemon zest, salt and pepper to the couscous; mix gently and fluff with a fork. Serve hot, sprinkled with cheese.
