this couscous was amazing! very similar to a Mediterranean couscous ive made with apricots and scallions. due to the fact that pine nuts are soooo expensive i used a packet of near east toasted pine nut and just added some more couscous because theres only a cup of couscous in the packet. i also garnished with cashews to get that crunch. raisins would be great with this instead of currants as well. thanks Ina!! definitely a go to side when you dont know what to make :-
