Tried to replicate couscous portion from the Moroccan chicken from Cheesecake Factory®

Ingredients

  • 2 cups water
  • 1 cup pearl (israeli) couscous
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ½ cup chopped yellow onion
  • 1 shallot, chopped
  • 6 cloves garlic, quartered
  • ½ cup golden raisins
  • ½ cup chopped oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes
  • ½ cup slivered almonds
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 3 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon butter, softened

Directions

  1. Bring the water to a boil in a saucepan; stir couscous into the boiling water and cook until couscous absorbs all the water and is cooked through, 10 to 15 minutes.
  2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-low heat; cook and stir onion, shallot, and garlic in the hot oil until onion is lightly browned, 15 to 20 minutes. Stir raisins, sun-dried tomatoes, and almonds into onion mixture; cook and stir until heated through, about 5 minutes.
  3. Stir couscous into onion-raisin mixture; cook and stir until heated through, about 5 minutes. Season couscous mixture with salt and pepper; add lemon juice. Remove skillet from heat and stir butter into couscous mixture.
