Couscous with zucchini, pistachio and saffron

I liked this couscous combo, though I’m not really sure how I came up with it.  We served this with goat cheese chicken.

1 cup chicken broth (water works fine)

1 cup couscous

10-20 shelled pistachios, crushed

a bit of butter

1/2 zucchini, diced

a couple threads saffron

salt and pepper

Melt butter in pan. Cook zucchini for a couple minutes; season with salt and pepper. Toast pistachios in same pan.

Add broth to pan and bring to a boil. Add couscous and saffron threads and turn off heat. Let sit for five minutes. Fluff with a fork and serve.
