Lemon Saffron Israeli Couscous

I used to buy this Lemon Saffron Israeli Couscous mix in a box from a supermarket, which is now gone out of business. My daughter Zoe loved it, so I recreated it. Israeli couscous is different from the North African version, which has a more fine-grained, fluffy texture. Israeli couscous has larger, pearl-like balls that cook up with a chewy texture that is similar to pasta.
