Saffron and caramelized carrot wisps give this couscous vibrant aroma and flavor.
How to Make It
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, bring broth, 1 tbsp. butter, the saffron, and 1/4 tsp. salt to a boil over high heat. Stir in couscous. Remove from heat, cover tightly, and let stand 10 minutes.
Step 2
Meanwhile, melt remaining 1/2 tbsp. butter in a small frying pan over medium heat. Add carrot and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned in a few places, being careful not to burn carrot, 4 to 6 minutes.
Step 3
Stir carrot and almonds into couscous, fluffing with a fork. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Step 4

It just needs something else...though I don't quite know what. Maybe some slices scallions, maybe something tart, like pomegranate seeds. As it is, this just seemed a bit bland.

I was looking for a quick side dish for some chicken. This was perfect. I added thinly sliced zucchini for more veggies and cooked them with the carrots. I also used toasted sliced almond. That was the perfect touch to create a nice crunch in the dish. Thank you... will definitely make this again and again.
