This recipe is delicious! The apricots add a sweetness that pairs perfectly with the tangy mint. The couscous is a great base for the dish and the pistachios add a nice crunch.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover apricots. I had some that were starting to go bad, so I decided to make this dish. It turned out great! The apricots were still sweet and flavorful, and the mint added a nice refreshing touch.
