This was so delicious! I made it for dinner with a roast pork loin with cranberry/orange glaze, so I added some dried cranberries and a small amount of mandarin orange segments to the couscous at the same time as the pistachios. Yum!! My husband and I loved it. Will definitely be making this again!
