Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Creamy Israeli Couscous with Cheddar and Pimentos.
Step 1
Begin by heating a generous amount of butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
Step 2
Once melted, introduce the pearl couscous, allowing it to sauté for 2 to 3 minutes while stirring frequently until it achieves a delightful golden hue.
Step 3
Next, pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a lively boil.
Step 4
When bubbling, lower the heat and let it simmer gently for 6 to 7 minutes, or until the couscous has absorbed most of the broth and is beautifully plump.
Step 5
Incorporate the heavy cream and diced pimentos, then sprinkle in a pinch of cayenne pepper.
Step 6
Continue cooking for another 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, and if the mixture appears too dry, feel free to add more broth to achieve the desired consistency.
Step 7
Once off the heat, fold in the shredded Cheddar cheese, stirring until it melts into a creamy blend.
Step 8
Finally, add the chopped chives and mix thoroughly.
Step 9
Season with salt, black pepper, and an extra dash of cayenne to elevate the flavors.
