Couscous, a tiny pasta with nutty undertones, is a delicious base for absorbing the fragrant flavors of Moroccan stews. In this jazzed-up version, we add lemon juice for brightness, fresh mint for an herbaceous kick, and toasted pine nuts for extra textural intrigue. Be sure to thoroughly fluff the couscous with a fork to avoid clumps before serving, and feel free to mix in additional soft herbs, dates, or dried fruits to create a super-fancy side dish. We recommend spooning a hearty portion of Chickpea-Potato Tagine over a cup of the couscous and topping it off with extra mint leaves for an unforgettable dinner.
