COUSCOUS CROWNS WITH PISTACHIOS, SCALLIONS, AND CURRANTS
My sister made this at one of our family gatherings with #185976 (Middle Eastern Beef Kabobs) and it is wonderful side dish. You can pre-chop and pre-measure prior to a dinner party and have it ready very quickly. I used a nice shaped bowl (that was a good portion size) and used that for the mold :) Nice flavor to enhance the main dish :) Gourmet July 1991

Steps:
- In a medium saucepan with a lid, heat oil over medium. Add white part of scallion; season with salt and pepper, and cook until soft, 1 minute.
- Add 1 cup water; bring to a boil. Add couscous, remove from heat, cover, and let stand for at least 5 minutes. Add pistachios and remaining scallion. Season with salt and pepper; fluff with a fork, and serve.
Tips:
- For the best couscous, use a 1:1 ratio of couscous to liquid. This will ensure that the couscous is cooked evenly and is not too dry or too wet.
- To toast the pistachios, spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 5-7 minutes, or until they are fragrant and golden brown.
- To plump the currants, soak them in hot water for 5-10 minutes before using. This will help to soften them and make them more flavorful.
- If you don't have a muffin tin, you can also bake the couscous timbales in a 9x13 inch baking dish. Just be sure to adjust the cooking time accordingly.
- Serve the couscous timbales immediately, or store them in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Conclusion:
These couscous timbales are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. They are also a great way to use up leftover couscous. With their nutty flavor and colorful appearance, these timbales are sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
