Cinnamon-Scented Toasted Israeli Couscous with Pine Nuts
Serves 4

1 1/2 cups (8 oz) Israeli Couscous
1 3/4 cups Chicken Stock
1/3 cup Pine Nuts
2 Tbsp. Butter
1/3 cup Shallots, minced
1 small or 1/2 large Cinnamon Stick
1 Bay Leaf
1/4 cup Parsley, chopped
Salt and Pepper to taste

Preheat a small skillet over medium heat and add pine nuts. Toast until the pine nuts are golden brown, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Set aside. Set a medium saucepan over medium heat and add butter. Add shallots to the saucepan. Sauté until the shallots are golden brown, 5-6 minutes. Add Israeli couscous, cinnamon stick, and dried bay leaf. Cook until the couscous is just beginning to brown, stirring frequently, about 5 minutes. Add chicken broth and salt. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer until the couscous is tender and the liquid is absorbed, 10-12 minutes. Remove the cinnamon stick and bay leaf. Stir in 1/4 cup minced fresh Italian parsley and the toasted pine nuts. Serve.
