Moroccan Couscouse

By Chef Tessa Turcotte-Novosedlik

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup couscous
  • 1/2 onion, diced
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground turmeric
  • 2 cups vegetable or chicken stock
  • 1/4 raisins
  • 1/4 cup dried apricots, sliced
  • 1/2 cup sliced almonds, toasted
  • 2 tbsp cilantro, chopped
  • 1 tbsp mint, chopped
  • 1 lemon, juice and zest
  • Olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions:

    • Heat a saucepot over medium heat and coat the bottom with olive oil. Add the onions, garlic and spices. Cook until the onions are translucent, about 5 minutes. Make sure to stir often to not burn the spices.
    • Add the stock to the pan and bring to a boil. Once the stock is boiling, remove from heat and stir in the couscous. Cover and allow to sit for 10 minutes, or until couscous has fully absorbed the stock.
    • Remove the lid and fluff the couscous with a fork. Add the almonds, raisins, apricots, chopped parsley and mint, lemon juice and zest and season with salt and peppper to taste.
