  • In a medium saucepan over low heat on the stove, warm the oil. Add the garlic and cook until it sizzles but does not brown, about 1 minute. Stir in the couscous. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the couscous begins to turn golden, about 5 minutes. Add the water and salt and heat to boiling over high heat. Stir once. Remove from the heat and let stand, covered, for 10 minutes, or until all the liquid is absorbed. Add the pine nuts, cover, and set aside.
