Ingredients
- 300 g couscous
- salt and pepper to taste
- 450 ml boiling water
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons mint finely chopped, plus extra for garnish
- 2 tablespoon parsley finely chopped, plus extra for garnish
- 80 g pomegranate seeds plus extra for garnish (I buy these in a nice little pot from the supermarket - or use the seeds from 1 pomegranate)
- 50 g pistachios plus extra for garnish (I buy these without their shells to save myself a job!)
Instructions
- Put the couscous in a large bowl and add several twists of salt and black pepper. Pour over the boiling water and stir to combine. Cover the couscous with a plate and leave for 10 minutes.
- After 10 minutes fluff up the couscous and add the lemon juice, olive oil, chopped mint, parsley, pomegranate seeds and pistachio nuts. Stir everything together, then tip out onto a large serving plate or dish.
- Garnish with the remaining chopped herbs, pomegranate seeds and pistachio nuts.
Notes
- Not suitable for freezing.
