LEMON COUSCOUS WITH BROCCOLI



Lemon Couscous with Broccoli image

I combined two recipes to create this side with broccoli and pasta. The splash of lemon adds nice flavor. Instead of toasted almonds, you could also sprinkle servings with grated Parmesan cheese. -Beth Dauenhauer, Pueblo, Colorado

A gorgeous light side dish which goes fabulously with a piece of grilled chicken or fish! Also great for picnics as it's best warm or room temp. You could add some corn kernels, maybe toasted pine nuts? Anchovies? Aussie tbsp used (20ml).
