Herb paste
Directions
- Cook the couscous according to package instructions using 1 tablespoon of Fustini&rsquo,s Single Varietal olive oil. Brown rice couscous will take a bit more time, however, it is a great option to make this recipe gluten free. Once the couscous is cooked, set aside until it reaches room temperature.
- Sauté, the red onion in olive oil on medium heat until translucent. Add the salt and cumin and mix well. Set aside to cool slightly.
- Place parsley, cilantro, dill, mint and 6 tablespoons of Fustini&rsquo,s Single Varietal olive oil in a food processor and pulse until smooth.
- Add the herb paste to the couscous and mix together well with a fork to fluff it. Add the cooked red onion, pistachios, green onions, green chiles, arugula, chopped herbs, and lime juice and gently mix.
