Creating easy, side dishes is one of my favorite things! In this D to the LISH side, I take tender couscous and amp it up with some fresh chopped mint and toasted pine nuts. The nuts add such an amazing depth of flavor and the mint gives this dish a kiss of freshness that will pair perfectly with any meal but especially my Moroccan chicken stew! It plays off spicy dishes very well. Whip up a batch to pair with your favorite main course and enjoy!
