"Delicious fruity couscous pairs perfectly with Sunday roast."
Ingredients:
  • 450g (2 1/3 cups) couscous
  • 375ml (1 1/2 cups) vegetable liquid stock
  • 375ml (1 1/2 cups) fresh orange juice
  • 5.00 gm ground cinnamon
  • 4.80 gm salt
  • 36.40 gm extra virgin olive oil
  • 80g (1/2 cup) dried apricots, coarsely chopped
  • 85g (1/2 cup) pitted dates, coarsely chopped
  • 65g (1/3 cup) raisins
  • 6 green shallots, ends trimmed, chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 2 tsp finely grated lemon rind
  • 60ml (1/4 cup) fresh lemon juice
  • 1 bunch fresh coriander, leaves picked, coarsely chopped
Instructions:
  • In a large heatproof bowl, add couscous. In a saucepan, combine stock, orange juice, cinnamon, and salt. Bring to a boil over high heat. Pour the seasoned liquid over the couscous while gently stirring with a fork. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let sit for 5 minutes until the liquid is absorbed. Fluff the couscous with a fork to separate the grains before serving.
  • Combine oil, apricots, dates, raisins, shallots, garlic, lemon zest and juice, and coriander with the couscous. Mix well, season with pepper to taste, and serve.
