Directions
Couscous With Dried Apricots, Currants, and Pistachios,From an old Gourmet magazine, this dish serves 16 but can be cut in half to make a family side dish that will last for leftovers!,I scaled for 4 serves and used 3/4 cups couscous to 1 cup water and left all other ingredients the same but found myself without cinnamon sticks so used 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon and also used sultanas in place of the currants which all worked well for us and was thoroughly enjoyed, thank you CaliforniaJan, made for ZAAR Stars.
