- 1 cup water

Bring the water and half the olive oil to the boil in a small saucepan then remove from the heat.
Add the couscous to the water and leave it to rest for a few minutes until the water is absorbed.
Add the butter and use a fork to stir it through while fluffing the couscous.
In a medium frying pan, heat the other half of the oil.
Cook the red onion and capsicum until soft.
Add the lemon juice to the onion and capsicum and stir it through then remove the pan from the heat.
Stir the couscous, onion and capsicum and remaining ingredients together and garnish with chopped parsley and toasted pine nuts.
Serve warm.
