1. Heat olive oil in a pot over medium heat. Sauté onion and garlic until golden, about 4 minutes.

3. Add couscous and stir until well mixed. Take the couscous off the burner, cover and let cook for 5 minutes off the heat.
4. Use a fork to fluff the grain and add the salt, slivered almonds and minced parsley.
