Préparation

1. 1

   prep garlic: Instructions Cut half of the garlic cloves into thin slices. Mince the other half of the garlic.

2. 2

   cook garlic chips: Heat the olive oil in a medium pot over medium heat. Add the sliced garlic and let it cook for 3-4 minutes, until it's golden. Using a slotted spoon, remove the crispy garlic chips from the pot. NOTE: if some darken quicker, remove the darker ones first.

   cook couscous: Add the minced garlic to the pot and let it cook for 1 minute. Add the stock and salt and bring the pot to a boil. Stir in the couscous, cover the pot, and let it simmer for 5 minutes, reducing the heat if needed.

   let rest: Remove the pot from the heat and set it aside, covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff the couscous with a fork and then stir in the parsley and lemon juice.
