Pistachio Couscous image

Posted for ZWT6 - NA*ME region - Morocco. Adjusted this slightly in that I think adding some chicken broth in place of just water would give this a better depth of flavor. To make it vegetarian use a vegetable broth in place of the chicken for the same boost to the flavor of the couscous.

Time 25m

Yield 4 , 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/4 cup pistachios, shelled
2 1/2 cups low sodium chicken broth (or use vegetable broth)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 (10 ounce) box couscous
1/8-1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, chopped
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
ground pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F On a baking sheet using the middle rack of the oven toast pistachios in one layer until golden, about 10 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool. Once cooled, coarsely chop. You do want them very coarse so the texture is prevalent in the couscous.
  • In a 3-quart saucepan bring broth and salt to a boil. Stir in the box of couscous and let stand, covered, off heat 5 minutes.
  • Fluff couscous with a fork and transfer to a bowl. Stir in pistachios, mint, oil, and lemon juice and season with pepper.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover couscous. I also added some chopped nuts and dried fruit for extra flavor.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my couscous turned out dry and clumpy. I'm not sure what went wrong.

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I added some extra spices and herbs, and it was much better.
