Steg för steg

  1. 1

    Bring the vegetable broth to a boil in a small saucepan over medium-high heat.

    Cirka 3 min

  2. 2

    Once boiling, remove the saucepan from the heat, stir in the couscous and salt, then immediately cover with a tight-fitting lid.

    Kockens tips: Ensure the lid is snug to trap all the steam for proper cooking.

  3. 3

    Let the couscous stand undisturbed for 5 minutes, allowing it to absorb the liquid and become tender.

    Cirka 5 min

  4. 4

    While the couscous rests, finely chop the fresh parsley and mint, and zest and juice the lemon.

    Cirka 4 min

  5. 5

    After 5 minutes, uncover the couscous and fluff it with a fork to separate the grains.

    Cirka 1 min

  6. 6

    Stir in the lemon zest, lemon juice, chopped parsley, chopped mint, olive oil, and black pepper.

    Cirka 1 min

    Kockens tips: Taste and adjust seasonings as needed, adding more salt or lemon if desired.

  7. 7

    Serve warm or at room temperature as a flavorful side dish.
