How to Make Moroccan Sweet Couscous
- Combine 1 cup couscous with 1 ¼ cups of boiling water in a bowl. Stir well, cover, and let stand for 10 minutes.
- While the couscous rests, prepare the fruit and nut mixture: In a separate bowl, combine ½ cup chopped almonds, ½ cup chopped walnuts, ½ cup raisins, ¼ cup chopped dried apricots, 2 tablespoons orange juice, and 2 tablespoons granulated sugar. Mix well.
- Place the couscous in a fine-mesh sieve set over a saucepan of simmering water. Steam for 10 minutes.
- Remove from heat and gently stir in 2 tablespoons of melted butter or margarine. Continue steaming for another 5-10 minutes, or until all the water is absorbed and the couscous is fluffy.
- Gently fold the fruit and nut mixture into the cooked couscous.
- Transfer the couscous to a serving dish. Garnish with whole almonds, a dusting of powdered sugar, and a sprinkle of cinnamon. Serve warm or at room temperature.
