Couscous With Roasted Garlic

Step 1: Heat a cast iron skillet or griddle over medium flame. Place unpeeled garlic cloves on pan and roast, turning occasionally, until garlic is blackened on all sides and soft.

Step 2: Meanwhile, in a small heavy saucepan, sauté the onion slivers in the olive oil until soft and slightly browned.

Step 3: Add the couscous to the onions and stir to coat the grains with the oil. Brown the couscous over low flame until just golden. Meanwhile, remove the blackened peel from the garlic cloves and squeeze the roasted garlic into the couscous.

Step 4: When the couscous is golden, add the chicken broth and bring to a boil. Cover the pan, and simmer until it is soft and has absorbed the broth, about 10-12 minutes.

Step 5: Stir in the chopped parsley right before serving.
