Ptitim, also known as Israeli couscous, is perfect for quick and delicious Middle Eastern-style side dishes. It cooks quickly, but to ensure it stays crisp and acquires a delicious golden color, fry it in olive oil first. Season the finished side dish with lemon juice, olive oil, and Dijon mustard, then sprinkle with chopped pistachios, shaved Parmesan, and chopped mint, which, along with the lemon, adds a refreshing flavor. This side dish pairs perfectly with grilled meats, especially lamb.
