Instructions:
-
Bring water to a boil. In a pot, bring 1 1/4 cups of water and 1 cup of broth to a rolling boil over medium-high heat.
-
Prepare couscous. Once the water is boiling, add 1 cup of couscous, 1/2 tablespoon of butter, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt to the pot. Stir gently to combine, then remove from heat. Allow the couscous to sit undisturbed for 5 minutes, allowing it to absorb the liquid.

Prepare the topping. While the couscous is resting, let’s prepare the flavorful topping. In a shallow pan, melt 2 tablespoons of margarine over medium heat. Add 1/2 cup of white wine, 1 sliced onion, and 1 minced garlic clove to the pan. Stir occasionally until the onions are translucent and fragrant.
-
Cook the mushrooms. Next, add 1 cup of sliced shiitake mushrooms and 1 cup of chopped porcini mushrooms to the pan with the onions and garlic. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and have released their juices.
-
Combine and serve. Once the couscous has finished resting, fluff it with a fork to separate the grains. Then, gently fold the cooked mushrooms and onions mixture into the couscous until well combined. Sprinkle with fresh basil for an extra burst of flavor.
-
Serve immediately. Plate the Wild Forest Mushroom Couscous and garnish with additional basil leaves if desired. Serve hot and enjoy this savory, aromatic dish!
