Steps
Place couscous into a heatproof bowl, and shake to flatten.
Heat the stock until boiling (I use the microwave on high for 2 minutes), then stir butter, garlic and salt (to taste) into the hot stock.
Pour hot stock evenly over couscous, making sure it is all covered in stock. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and leave to sit for 3 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a small frypan lightly toast the pine nuts and roughly chop the parsley (if using).
When the 3 minutes is up, use a fork to fluff up the couscous, then stir through grated parmesan, roughly chopped parsley, oregano leaves and pine nuts.
