This recipe was created to accompany Moroccan Lamb and Quince Stew. Cooking the couscous in 2 pans prevents lumps from forming. Can be prepared in 45 minutes or less. Preheat oven to 350F. On a baking sheet in middle of oven toast pistachios in one layer until golden, about 10 minutes. Once pistachios have cooled, coarsely chop. In each of two 3-quart saucepans bring 2 1/4 cups water and 1/2 teaspoon salt to a boil. Stir 1 box couscous into each pan and let stand, covered, off heat 5 minutes. Chop mint leaves. Fluff couscous with a fork and transfer to a bowl. Stir in pistachios, mint, oil, and lemon juice and season with salt and pepper. Serves 8.
