Simple couscous with dates and pistachios from The Complete Mediterranean Cookbook: 500 Vibrant, Kitchen-Tested Recipes for Living and Eating Well Every Day (page 162) by America's Test Kitchen Editors

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    Easy side. Followed recipe. Complex in flavor.

    Okay but nothing spectacular. I always find couscous pretty boring and hoped adding the dates and pistachios (along with EVOO and broth) would jazz it up and give it more moisture. The result wasn’t much more flavorful or moist. It was improved with the accompaniment of the pistachio sauce for the chicken thigh recipe in the same cookbook.
