Peas and chives really dress up this side dish. Ingredients:
1 (14 1/2-ounce) can low-salt chicken broth |
1 1/2 cups shelled fresh peas or frozen peas |
2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) butter |
pinch of saffron threads |
1 1/4 cups couscous |
1/4 cup chopped fresh chives |
Directions:
1. Bring chicken broth to simmer in medium saucepan. Add peas and cook just until tender, about 2 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer peas to bowl. Add 2 tablespoons butter and saffron threads to broth and bring to boil. Remove from heat. Add couscous; stir to blend. Cover tightly and let stand until liquid is absorbed and couscous is tender, about 5 minutes. Fluff couscous with fork. Gently mix in chives and peas. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer couscous to large bowl.
