How to Make Israeli Couscous Rice Cooker

1. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1/2 cup finely chopped shallot to your rice cooker bowl.
2. Set your rice cooker to the sauté function (if available). If not, use the cook function and stir frequently.
3. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the shallot is softened and translucent, about 3-5 minutes.
4. Add 1 cup Israeli couscous and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until lightly toasted and coated with oil.
5. Pour in 1 3/4 cups chicken broth (or vegetable broth for a vegetarian option) and add 1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste).
6. Close the rice cooker lid and set to the regular cooking cycle.
7. Once the cooking cycle is complete, let the couscous rest in the cooker for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork.
8. Serve plain or garnish with fresh herbs (like parsley or dill), a squeeze of lemon juice, or a sprinkle of parmesan cheese.
