Lemon Thyme Couscous Recipes

Steps:

• Put the couscous in a heatproof dish.
• Add the thyme, bouillon powder, most of the lemon zest and juice.
• Add 900ml boiling water, cover and let stand for 10 minutes until the liquid has been absorbed.
• Fluff with a fork and stir in the parsley and olive oil.
• Season to taste, garnish with the remaining lemon zest and serve.

Steps:

• Stir chicken broth, lemon juice, lemon zest, butter, and salt together in a saucepan; bring to a boil. Add couscous to the liquid and stir to coat completely. Place a cover on the saucepan, remove from heat, and let couscous soak in hot liquid until the moisture is mostly absorbed, about 5 minutes.
• Fluff couscous with a fork. Stir pimento peppers, pine nuts, and parsley into the couscous.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 500°F. and heat a baking sheet in lower third of oven 5 minutes.
• Fold each sheet of foil in half crosswise to crease, and then unfold.
• On a plate coat red snapper fillets with oil and sprinkle with pepper and salt to taste. On each sheet of foil put 1 fillet to one side of crease and sprinkle with 2 teaspoon lemon juice, 1/4 teaspoon thyme, and half of any oil remaining on plate. Top each fillet with 3 lemon slices.
• Working with 1 foil package (papillote) at a time, fold left half of foil over fillet. Starting at 1 corner of crease, fold edge of foil over in triangles, following a semicircular oath around fillet (each fold should overlap previous one), smoothing out folds as you go and tucking last ford under, until papillote is completely sealed. Put papillotes on hot baking sheet and bake in middle of oven 5 minutes.
• Serve papillotes with couscous.

Steps:

• Bring water to a boil in a medium saucepan; gradually stir in couscous. Remove from heat; cover and let stand 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork. Stir in onions and remaining ingredients.

• Stir in couscous, then cover and remove from heat. Let couscous stand, covered, 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork and stir in herbs, lemon juice, remaining tablespoon oil, and salt and pepper to taste.
