Steps:
- In a small pot with tight fitting lid bring 1-1/2 cups broth to boil.

- Stir until broth returns to boil, cover with lid, remove from heat and let sit (covered) for at least five minutes.
- Heat olive oil and butter in pan on medium high heat.
- Add mushrooms and onions, and a dash of salt and pepper. Sauté for 2-5 minutes.
- Add garlic and bell peppers and sauté for an additional 5 minutes until mushrooms are nicely browned and onion and peppers are tender.
- Clear a spot in the middle of the pan and heat pine nuts, let them get a little brown if you like, it will bring out more of their flavour. (Or toast them separately - I'm just too lazy!).
- Fluff hot cooked couscous with a fork, mix in sautéed mushrooms etc. Top with chives. Enjoy! (We love this recipe with grilled chicken thighs or steak, but it's a great addition to a meatless/vegetarian dinner as well!).

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh vegetables, flavorful mushrooms, and fluffy couscous will make a big difference in the final dish.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the mushrooms, make sure to give them enough space so they can brown properly. If you overcrowd the pan, they will steam instead of brown.
- Cook the couscous according to the package directions: This will ensure that it is cooked properly and has the right texture.
- Add the vegetables and mushrooms to the couscous at the end of cooking: This will prevent them from overcooking and becoming mushy.
- Season the dish to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices as desired.
- Garnish with fresh herbs: Chopped parsley, cilantro, or basil will add a pop of color and flavor to the dish.
