Number Of Ingredients 7

2 Tbsp lemon-flavored olive oil, plus more as needed
2 c israeli couscous
1/4 c shelled, unsalted, roasted pistachio nuts, coarsely chopped
2 1/4 c hot water
kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
6 dried turkish apricots, chopped
2 scallions, sliced

  • 1. Heat the oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the couscous and pistachios and cook, stirring until toasted and light golden brown, about 7 minutes. Add the water, season with salt and pepper, to taste and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer, cover and cook until the liquid is absorbed, about 10 minutes.

I think this dish would be better with some chopped nuts or seeds.

I'm not sure what went wrong. My dish turned out mushy.

This dish was a bit too salty for my taste. I think it would be better with less salt.

I'm not sure about this dish. The couscous was a bit dry and the apricots were too sweet for my taste.
