Couscous with Pomegranate, Mint and Pine Nuts image

Take the pomegranate and score it in quarters just through the skin. Take a sharp knife to the top of the pomegranate and it will pop open. Take each quarter and turn upside down in the palm of your hand over a bowl. Hit the back of the pomegranate with a wooden spoon and the seeds will pop out.

The couscous was a bit too dry for my taste, but the flavors were still great.
