How To Make isreali couscous with scallion and parmesan

Step 1

In a large sauce pan melt 2 tbsp butter over medium high heat. Add the scallion whites and saute until just tender, about 2 minutes.

Step 2

Add the couscous and saute, stirring to coat the pearls evenly, about 30 seconds. Add salt and pepper.
Step 3

Add the liquid of your choice and cover. Bring to a rapid boil then turn down to low. Continue to cook on low for 10-15 minutes, until there are no visible bubbles forming. Turn off heat and let rest 5 minutes.
Step 4

Fluff the couscous and stir in the remaining butter, scallion greens and lemon zest. Stir until the cheese is evenly incorporated. Serve immediately.
