How to Make Caramelised Onion And Couscous Seasoning

  1. Place 2 cups of couscous in a large heatproof bowl and stir in 2 cups of hot chicken or vegetable stock.
  2. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and set aside for 5 minutes, or until the liquid is completely absorbed.
  3. Using a fork, gently fluff and separate the couscous grains.
  4. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 2 large onions, thinly sliced, and 2 cloves of minced garlic. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened.
  5. Stir in 2 tablespoons of brown sugar, 2 tablespoons of red wine vinegar, and 1 teaspoon of fresh thyme leaves.
  6. Cook and stir for 10-15 minutes, or until the onions are deeply caramelized and golden brown.
  7. Stir in ½ cup of sultanas (golden raisins) into the caramelized onions.
  8. Gently fold the caramelized onion mixture into the couscous.
  9. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Adjust seasoning as needed.
