COUSCOUS WITH PINE NUTS
COUSCOUS WITH PINE NUTS
Ingredients
- 200g/7oz couscous
- ½ tsp salt
- 100g/3½oz pine nuts
- 570ml/20fl oz/1 pint boiling water
Directions
- Place the couscous
- salt and pine nuts in a lidded saucepan and stir well.
- Pour the water over (it should be about 2cm/¾in above the couscous).
- Put the pan lid on and leave until ready to serve.
- Gently fork the couscous to break up the grains
- before transferring to a bowl to serve.
- This makes a great salad meal if you let the couscous go cold and keep in the fridge. If you are serving the couscous with a spicy main
- leave this dish the way it is and serve hot. If you're serving it with a plainer meat
- such as lamb chops
- you could soften some onion in olive oil
- and add fresh ginger
- chilli and garlic before adding the couscous to the pan.
