Lemon, olive and parsley couscous recipe

At Haskell's House, we are a Vegetarian, self-catering and rental cottage located here at Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

Although we are strict Vegetarians - and most of our guests who stay are also on a vegetarian diet - we still like to have a variety in what we eat. One of our favourite, quick meals is our Lemon, olive and parsley couscous.

All that is needed to make this are: 1.5 cups of organic couscous, 1.5 cups of boiling water, one cup stuffed green olives, chopped, one cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves, one tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil, 2 teaspoons of finely grated lemon rind and a quarter cup of fresh lemon juice.

To make this, place couscous in a heatproof bowl and add the boiling water. Stand, covered, for 5 minutes or until water is absorbed and stir with a fork to separate grains.

Then, add olives, parsley, oil, lemon rind and juice to couscous. You can season with pepper and salt to taste. 

Toss it to combine and serve as a meal or as a side dish.
