Ingredients
-
2 tablespoons unsalted butter or vegetable oil
-
1 medium onion, finely chopped
-
1 large rib celery, finely chopped
-
2 cups water
-
4 teaspoons Kitchen Accomplice Chicken Broth Concentrate or 8 teaspoons Kitchen Accomplice Organic Chicken Bone Broth Concentrate
-
1/2 cup orange juice
-
1 1/2 cups dried couscous
-
1/2 cup dried cranberries
-
1/2 cup toasted chopped pecans
-
Finely grated zest of 1 orange
-
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley
-
Salt and ground black pepper
Methods/Steps
Heat the butter or oil in a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the onion and celery and cook over medium heat until the onion is translucent and golden, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the water, Kitchen Accomplice Chicken Broth Concentrate or Chicken Bone Broth Concentrate, and orange juice. Add the couscous, stirring to combine, and bring the mixture to a boil. Immediately turn the heat to low, stir in the cranberries, and cover the pan, and cook until all the liquid has evaporated, 5-7 minutes.
Remove the cover and fluff the couscous with a fork. Stir in the pecans, orange zest and parsley, and season to taste with salt and pepper.
