Couscous with Pistachio Nuts Olives and Currants

Posted 2015-06-16 by finy ⇒ follow

Couscous is made of crushed durum wheat semolina, and is a very versatile grain which requires no cooking.

It can be mixed with many things to make an interesting accompaniment to a meal, or can even be eaten on its own.

In this one, I have added pistachios for a crunchy texture and I served it with my [link http://recipeyum.com.au/curried-red-salmon-patties-with-reibekuchen/ curried red salmon patties].

You could also add cut up cooked vegetables, which would make it even healthier.

Preparation Time: 10 minutes

1 cup couscous (I used corn couscous)
Up to ½ cup of shelled pistachio nuts
Up to ¼ cup green olives, sliced
Zest of a lemon

Fresh coriander to serve
