- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 1/4 cup chopped parsley
Instructions

- Once the water is boiling, take the pot off the stovetop and add in the couscous and put the lid back on (the couscous will be ready in a minute or two).

- To the couscous, add the caramelized onions, chopped parsley, and lemon juice. Stir to combine. You can serve this dish either warm or cold.
Notes
*If you don't have any ras el hanout at home and you don't want to buy it, you can also use curry powder or turmeric (1/4 teaspoon) to make golden couscous, although it won't taste the same.
