Step:

  1. Bring stock to boil, take off heat and add in cous cous. Allow to sit for 5 minutes to absorb all liquid, add in the butter and fluff up with a fork and set aside

  2. Mix together the garlic, lemon juice and olive oil

  3. Place the cous cous in a bowl, stir through pistachios, craisins, onion and mint and as you're stirring it, drizzle through the juice mixture. Serve as a tasty side. Note: it's super quick if you crush the garlic in the food processor, followed with the onion and then the nuts
