  • 1 tsp dried tarragon , or 1 tbsp chopped fresh tarragon

  • 2 cups baby arugula

Instructions

  • Bring 2 1/4 cups water to a boil in a saucepan over high. Add butter, garlic, tarragon and salt. (If using fresh tarragon, stir in with arugula after couscous has been fluffed.)
  • Heat a large, wide frying pan over medium-high. Add couscous. Stir frequently and lightly shake pan until evenly toasted, about 5 min. Remove from heat. Slowly pour in boiling water while stirring. Cover and let sit 5 min. Fluff with a fork. Stir in arugula.

Equipment Tip:

Don’t use a non-stick pan for this recipe – it will prevent the couscous from getting as toasty and flavourful as possible.
