PEACH COUSCOUS

Steps:

• Couscous:.
• Preheat oven or toaster oven to 400 degrees.
• Place couscous in oven-proof container.
• Heat chicken broth to boiling in microwave or on stovetop, then stir into couscous; allow to sit for 10-15 minutes.
• Gently fluff couscous with fork and stir in olive oil until all the grains are coated evenly. You can use a fork or your fingers.
• Place couscous in the pre-heated oven to "toast" for another 10-15 minutes.
• Sauce:.
• While the couscous is absorbing the chicken broth, melt butter in medium pan over medium-low heat. Brown shallots or onion.
• Just before you put the couscous in the oven to toast, add preserved lemon and peaches to shallots and butter, allowing the sugars to caramelize slightly.
• Depending on how juicy the peaches are, you may need to add small quantities of water to keep the juices from burning and to keep the sauce appropriately liquid.
• Stir honey into the sauce just before the couscous is done toasting.
• Turn the couscous out onto plates and ladle the sauce over it.
