ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1⁄2 yellow onion, finely chopped (about 1/2 cup)
- 1 garlic clove, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh ginger, finely minced
- 1 cup orange juice, freshly squeezed from about 3 oranges, strained to remove pulp
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 9 ounces couscous (about 1-1/2 cups)
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1⁄2 cup slivered almonds, toasted
- 1⁄4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
- 1⁄4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 orange, zest of
- fresh ground black pepper
directions
- Heat the oil over medium heat in a large saucepan with a tight lid. Add the onion and cook, stirring frequently, until soft but not browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Stir in the garlic and ginger and cook for 2 more minutes. Add the orange juice and simmer until the liquid has nearly evaporated, about 10 minutes, stirring as needed to prevent the juice from caramelizing. Add 2 cups water and bring to a boil.
- Remove from the heat, add the butter, couscous, and salt. Stir, and cover. Let stand for 15 minutes. Fluff the couscous with a fork. Stir in the almonds, herbs, and orange zest. Season with salt and pepper, if desired.
