Directions:
- Toast the almonds: in a dry saute pan, over medium heat, spread the nuts evenly and toss them a bit just until they start to get color. Set them aside, out of the pan, to cool.
- In a large saucepan warm the 3 Tbsp. of olive oil and add the minced garlic and cook over medium heat one minute.
- Add the couscous and stir to coat and get a bit of color for about five minutes. Stir often to avoid burning.
- Carefully add the broth and juice of one lemon and then bring to a boil. Cover and take off the heat, covering the pot. Per the package directions the couscous will absorb the liquid.
- In a large bowl toss the cooked couscous with the remaining 1/4 cup olive oil, other lemon's juice, salt, and pepper and let cool to room temperature.
- When the couscous is cooled to room temperature stir in the chopped basil and peppermint, dried cranberries, and toasted almonds.
