  • 2 1/2 cups hot water (I used 1 cup chicken broth and 1 1/2 cups water)

We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Heat the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the couscous onions and pistachios and cook, stirring constantly until couscous is toasted and light golden brown, about 7 minutes. Add the water and next 3 dry spices, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer, cover, and cook until the liquid is absorbed, about 12-15 minutes (check towards the end of cooking and if the couscous is still not to your liking add in more water and continue cooking it's the texture you desire).

  • Step 2: Remove the lid, stir in the apricots and scallions, taste, and adjust the seasonings. Transfer the couscous to a serving bowl.
