Instructions
Bloom the Garlic Butter
In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook stirring constantly for 1 to 2 minutes until fragrant and just starting to turn golden. Do not let it burn.
Bring Broth to a Boil
Pour chicken or vegetable broth into the saucepan with the garlic butter and increase heat to high. Bring to a rolling boil and season generously with salt and black pepper.
Steam the Couscous
Remove pan from heat completely and stir in the instant couscous. Immediately cover the pan tightly with a lid or plate and let the couscous steam undisturbed for exactly 5 minutes to absorb all the liquid.
Fluff and Finish
Remove the lid and fluff couscous with a fork to separate all the grains. Add lemon zest, lemon juice, and chopped fresh parsley and mint. Toss gently to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning. Serve warm topped with crumbled feta if desired.
