| 1. In a saucepan combine the butter and the broth, bring the liquid to a boil, and stir in the couscous. | 2. Remove the pan from the heat, let the mixture stand, covered, for 5 minutes, and transfer it to a bowl. | 3. Break up any lumps with a fork and stir in the currants, the scallion, the pistachios, the parsley, and salt and pepper to taste. | 4. In a small bowl whisk together the lemon juice, the cinnamon, and the oil. | 5. Toss the couscous mixture with the dressing and season it with salt and pepper. | 6. Pack the mixture into four 3/4-cup timbales (or mold of your choice- I use ramekin or other serving size dish) and unmold the timbales/mold onto 4 plates. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
