Israeli Couscous Pilaf with Raisins, Mint & Almonds
Couscous is a traditional side dish in parts of the Middle East and Africa. Here, we use Israeli couscous, a plump, ball-shaped toasted pasta, and cook it pilaf-style. This means that the couscous is first sautéed in olive oil until toasted, then covered in hot broth, covered, and cooked until tender. Stir in veggies, raisins, mint, and almonds, and you have a flavorful and easy side dish.
