    In the meantime, roast the pistachios in a dry frying pan until they start to give off their delicious aroma and taste.
  • Stir the couscous into the onions / plums in the pan. Season with salt and pepper.
    Finely chop the coriander and mint leaves and stir it into the couscous. Do the same with the pickled lemon.
