Hazırlanışı

Adım adım

1. 1

   Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan or pot over medium heat.

   Yaklaşık 1 dk.

2. 2

   Add the Israeli couscous to the pan and toast, stirring frequently, until lightly golden brown, about 3-5 minutes.

   Yaklaşık 4 dk.

   Aşçının notu: Toasting the couscous adds a deeper, nuttier flavor.

3. 3

   Stir in the garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

   Yaklaşık 1 dk.

   Aşçının notu: Be careful not to burn the garlic.

4. 4

   Pour in the vegetable broth, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil.

   Yaklaşık 3 dk.

5. 5

   Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for 10 minutes, or until the liquid is absorbed and the couscous is tender.

   Yaklaşık 10 dk.

   Aşçının notu: Avoid lifting the lid too often to allow the couscous to steam properly.

6. 6

   Remove the pot from the heat and let it rest, covered, for 5 minutes.

   Yaklaşık 5 dk.

   Aşçının notu: This resting period allows the couscous to fully absorb any remaining liquid and become fluffy.

7. 7

   Fluff the couscous with a fork, then stir in the fresh parsley and dill.

   Yaklaşık 1 dk.

8. 8

   Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Optionally, stir in the lemon juice for a brighter flavor.
