20g butter

1 shallot, chopped

2 cloves garlic, chopped

1 and 1/2 cups Cortas moghrabieh

1/2 cup roughly chopped coriander, mint or parsley

1/2 cup pistachios, roughly chopped

Turn off the heat (but don’t remove the lid) and let steam for another 15 minutes to absorb remaining liquid. Stir through the herbs and pistachios just before serving
