Cooking Instructions
- Melt the butter in a large nonstick saucepan and sauté the couscous over a medium heat. Cook, stirring regularly, until the couscous is lightly toasted, about 5 minutes. Add the stock and bring to a boil.
- Reduce the temperature to a simmer, cover and cook for 5 minutes, or until the couscous is just cooked.
- Remove from the heat, cover and steam for a few minutes.
- Tip into a bowl and stir. Allow to cool for about 5 minutes.
- Mix the remaining ingredients, except the almonds and olive oil, with the cooked couscous and transfer to a serving dish.
- Garnish with the almonds and drizzle with the olive oil.
