Lemony Israeli Couscous with Fennel

We like to serve this couscous dish with fish and a dollop of remoulade sauce. Pictured here is seared tuna and a quick remoulade made with mayonnaise, Sriracha, and capers.

Makes 3-4 servings

Ingredients:

  • ½ cup Israeli couscous, cooked according to package directions. (You will end up with about 1.5 cups of cooked couscous)
  • 1 cup chopped Italian parsley
  • 1 medium bulb fennel, sliced
  • 1 medium onion, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, sliced
  • ¼ cup chopped fennel fronds
  • 2 Tbs olive oil
  • Zest and juice of one large lemon
  • Extra lemon wedges for serving
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Preparation:

Sauté fennel, onion, and garlic in olive oil until vegetables are tender. Add cooked couscous, parsley, lemon zest and juice, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Easy peasy!
