### 🔀 Instructions

&emsp;


In a medium sauce pan, heat olive oil over medium low heat. Saute garlic for a couple of minutes, stirring to keep from burning, until fragrant.

&emsp;

Pour in chicken stock and bring a boil. Stir in 4 T of butter. Add in couscous, remove from heat, and cover for 5 minutes.

&emsp;

While you wait, make the dressing by whisking or shaking together olive oil and lemon juice. Set aside.

&emsp;

When couscous is done, uncover and fluff with a fork. Dispose of garlic cloves. Transfer couscous to a large bowl or serving dish, and mix in peas. Stir in grated Parmesan. Pour dressing over couscous and fluff again to distribute. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and sprinkle with chopped parsley.

&emsp;

Serve (right away is best, but cover to keep warm) with extra grated Parmesan on top.
