Couscous often gets forgotten about and honestly, I don't know why. It's much easier to make than most grains or pastas and you can take the flavor profile with it anywhere. A simple drizzle of olive oil and lemon juice is our favorite way to serve it, but the possibilities are endless.

Rinse couscous under cold water until water runs clear.  In a medium saucepan over medium heat, bring broth to a boil. Add couscous, then cover with a lid and remove from heat. Let sit 10 minutes, then fluff with a fork.  Add oil, lemon juice, and parsley. Season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of red pepper flakes.
