1 box of plain Couscous or whatever flavor you desire, cooked according to the package instructions
2 tbsp toasted pine nuts
2 tsp butter
¼ yellow onion diced
3-5 cloves of roasted garlic chopped (see recipe here)
2 tbsp Parmesan cheese grated
1 tbsp Italian parsley chopped

Prepare couscous in a large saucepan according to the package instructions.
Toast the pine nuts in a dry large skillet, add the pine nuts, and cook until lightly golden brown, about 2 minutes (stirring frequently). Remove from heat.
Caramelized the onion in the same skillet by heating the butter over medium heat.
Add the onions and cook, stirring frequently, for 20 minutes, until caramelized and tender. Side Note: Add a little water if the onions become dry.
Finish the couscous once it's done cooking, by stirring in the onions, pine nuts, roasted garlic, cheese, parsley, and season with sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste.
Serve and enjoy.
