1 cup uncooked israeli couscous

1 1/2 cups chopped simple roasted leg of lamb (about 6 ounces)

1/2 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

1/2 cup fresh orange juice (about 1 orange)

1/3 cup thinly sliced green onions

3 tablespoons coarsely chopped pistachios, toasted

3 tablespoons grated orange rind

1 tablespoon extravirgin olive oil

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Directions:

1. Bring water to a boil in a medium saucepan; gradually stir in couscous. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 8 minutes or until al dente. Drain and rinse with cold water; drain. Place couscous in a medium bowl. Stir in Simple Roasted Leg of Lamb and remaining ingredients. Cover and chill.
