Instructions: Bring the chicken broth or water to a boil in a small saucepan. Place the couscous in a large bowl and add the hot broth. Immediately cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it steam for 5 minutes.

Melt the butter in a large skillet. Add the capers, lemon zest and almonds. Stir until the almonds turn a golden brown, about 5 minutes, then add the diced tomatoes and cilantro. Stir in the couscous.

This recipe yields 4 servings.
