How to Make Israeli Couscous Rice Cooker
- Add 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1/2 cup finely chopped shallot to your rice cooker bowl.
- Set your rice cooker to the sauté function (if available). If not, use the cook function and stir frequently.
- Cook, stirring occasionally, until the shallot is softened and translucent, about 3-5 minutes.
- Add 1 cup Israeli couscous and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until lightly toasted and coated with oil.
- Pour in 1 3/4 cups chicken broth (or vegetable broth for a vegetarian option) and add 1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste).
- Close the rice cooker lid and set to the regular cooking cycle.
- Once the cooking cycle is complete, let the couscous rest in the cooker for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork.
- Serve plain or garnish with fresh herbs (like parsley or dill), a squeeze of lemon juice, or a sprinkle of parmesan cheese.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
