Preparation Steps

1 Separate the seeds from teh pomegranate. It helps to cut off the top and rip it in sixths. Rub your fingers along the seeds so they fall into a bowl half filled with water. Bits of the rind will float while the seeds sink allowing for easy separation.

2 First rinse the Pearl Cous Cous in a strainer until the water runs clear. Then cook the Pearl Cous Cous in a pot at a 1 to 1 ratio with water. Bring it to a boil and then let it sit for 15 mintues to allow the pearl cous cous to absorb the water.

3 While the couscous cooks, chop the remaining ingredients - Mint, Parsly, Pistachios, Green Capsicum, spring onions.

4 In a large mixing bowl, combine the ingredients and stir until combined.

5 Plate and serve.
