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.

I would not recommend this recipe. The pistachio couscous was bland and the sauce was too runny.

This recipe is way too complicated. I gave up halfway through.

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

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover pistachio nuts. The couscous is light and fluffy, and the pistachios add a nice crunch.
