Wild Mushroom Couscous2 Cups Israeli Couscous (it's a bigger grained couscous)
3 Cups Chicken Broth
2 oz dried mushrooms, chopped or broken by hand
2 Tbs Olive Oil
salt and pepper to taste
Put dried mushrooms in Chicken broth and heat in a microwave for two minutes. Allow mushrooms to Rehydrate for 20 minutes.
Heat olive oil over medium high heat in a sauce pot. Add couscous and cook until golden, about five minutes. Add chicken broth with mushrooms. Kitchen Klutz note: Wear an Oven Mitt!! The liquid will create steam as soon as you add it to the burn. This will burn. Trust me.
Bring to a simmer, cover, and allow to simmer (you may need to reduce the heat) until all of the liquid is absorbed, about 12 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, and serve.
Recipe notes: For a vegetarian option, substitute vegetable broth for chicken broth.
