Ingredients
- ⅓ cup pine nuts shelled
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 ½ cup couscous
- ⅓ cup sun-dried tomato in oil, drained and diced
- ⅓ cup feta cheese crumbled
- ¼ cup green onion chopped
Instructions
- In a dry, non-stick fry pan over medium-high heat, toast the pine nuts, tossing often, until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes. Be sure to watch them closely as they can burn quickly once they get hot. Set aside.
- In a medium saucepan, bring 1 ¼ cup water to a boil. Stir in the couscous, olive oil and kosher salt, cover, and remove from the heat. Let stand for 5 minutes.
- Fluff the couscous with a fork and stir in the sun dried tomatoes, feta cheese, chopped green onion, and pine nuts. This dish can be served warm or at room temperature.
