  • 130g yoghurt

  • In a heatproof bowl, combine couscous and dates. Pour in grapefruit juice and 1 cup (250ml) of boiling water. Let it sit for 5 minutes until the liquid is absorbed. Fluff the couscous with a fork, then mix in oranges, coriander leaves, almonds, and cinnamon until fully incorporated.
