How To Make toasted israeli couscous with dried apricots

Step 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.

Step 2

Remove the lid, stir in the apricots and scallions, taste, and adjust the seasonings. Transfer the couscous to a serving bowl and serve warm with a little more lemon oil drizzled over the top, if desired.
