Ina Garten How Easy Is That? (p. 195)
Yellow onion - 2 (2 cups)
Parsley - 1⁄2 cup
Couscous - 12 oz (2 cups)
Chicken stock - 3 cups
Pine nuts - 1⁄2 cup
Unsalted butter - 1⁄2 stick (4 tbl)
Onion - peel and chop
Pine nuts - toast lightly
Melt the butter in a large saucepan. Add the onion and cook over medium-low heat for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender but not browned. Add the chicken stock, 1 1⁄2 tsp kosher salt, 1⁄2 tsp pepper, and bring to a full boil. Stir in the couscous, turn off the heat, cover, and allow to steam for 10 minutes. Fluff with a fork, stir in the pine nuts and parsley and serve hot.
