How to Make Artichoke Couscous

  1. Bring 4 cups of vegetable broth and 1 cup of water to a boil in a medium saucepan.
  2. Stir in 1 cup of Israeli couscous.
  3. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 8 minutes, or until the couscous is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
  4. Fluff the couscous with a fork and let it cool slightly.
  5. While the couscous is cooking, prepare the artichoke hearts: Drain a 14-ounce can of artichoke hearts and roughly chop them.
  6. In a large bowl, combine the cooked couscous, chopped artichoke hearts, 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese, 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, 1/4 cup chopped red onion, and the juice of 1 lemon.
  7. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and season generously with salt and pepper to taste.
  8. Gently toss to combine all ingredients.
  9. Serve warm or chilled. Garnish with extra parsley and feta cheese if desired.
