Number Of Ingredients 10

1 medium red onion, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch dice
2 cups water, plus more for soaking
8 ounces Israeli couscous
1 1/2 teaspoons coarse salt
Nonstick cooking spray
1/4 cup roughly chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1/4 cup roughly chopped fresh mint leaves
2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
Lemon wedges

Steps:

  • Place red onion in a small bowl, and cover with water. Let soak 30 minutes; transfer to paper towels, and drain.

I'm allergic to tomatoes, so I omitted them from the recipe. It still turned out great!

I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out terrible. The couscous was mushy and the flavors were all wrong.

This dish is a bit too bland for my taste. I added some lemon juice and cumin and it was much better.
