½ tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper
1 ½ cups couscous
¼ cup sliced almonds
1 tbsp olive oil
3 tbsp fresh flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
1 tsp lemon zest
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice

Instructions

1
Heat the olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced almonds and cook, stirring frequently, until golden and fragrant, about 3–4 minutes. Watch closely, as they can brown quickly. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
