- 1/4 cup pistachios
- Optional: 1/8 cup barberries
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 large onion (very thinly sliced)
- 2 cups pearl couscous
- 1 cinnamon stick

Steps
-
Warm the oil in a large deep skillet over medium high heat. Add the pine nuts and pistachios to the skillet. Saute until toasted and fragrant. Remove from the skillet to a plate or small dish. Melt the butter in the skillet and then add the onion, couscous, and cinnamon stick. Cook, while stirring frequently, until browned.
