Original Recipe Yield 3 servings
 

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1/2 cup pearl (Israeli) couscous
  • 1/4 cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup sliced Kalamata olives
  • 2 tablespoons crumbled feta cheese
  • 1 cup canned garbanzo beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons lemon juice

Directions

  1. Pour the chicken broth and water into a saucepan, stir in the garlic, and bring to a boil. Stir in the couscous, cover the pan, and remove from heat. Allow the couscous to stand until all the water has been absorbed, about 5 minutes; fluff with a fork. Allow the couscous to cool to warm temperature.
  2. In a large serving bowl, lightly toss the couscous, sun-dried tomatoes, olives, feta cheese, and garbanzo beans. Mix the oregano, black pepper, white wine vinegar, and lemon juice in a small bowl, and pour over the couscous mixture. Toss again to serve.
