How to Make Dried Fruit Compote With Couscous And Yogurt

Combine 1 cup mixed dried fruit, 1/4 cup slivered almonds, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, and 1/2 cup fruit juice in a medium saucepan over high heat. Bring to a boil.
Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the fruit is softened and fragrant, about 10 minutes. Meanwhile, place 1 cup couscous in a heat-resistant bowl and pour in 1 cup boiling water.
Add 1 tablespoon butter to the couscous and stir briefly to combine.
Cover the couscous with plastic wrap and let it sit for 3 minutes.
Gently fluff the couscous with a fork until the grains are separated and lightly fluffed.
In a small bowl, combine 1 cup yogurt, 1 tablespoon honey, and 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg. Mix well.
To serve, divide the couscous among 4 deep bowls.
Top each serving with the fruit mixture, a dollop of yogurt, and garnish with fresh mint leaves.
