Method

  • Put the couscous in a large bowl and immerse in boiling water.
  • Cover the bowl and let the couscous swell up.
  • If the water is completely absorbed after 3-4 mins, you can mash the couscous with a fork and let it cool.
  • Smother the couscous with the cashew milk and stir in the cinnamon.
  • Cut the dates, figs and apricots in pieces and mix with the raisins, almond, the orange blossom water and add everything to the couscous.
  • Cut the pomegranate in half and submerge it in water.
  • Loosen the seeds with your hands.
  • The seeds will sink to the bottom and the skin will float on the surface.
  • Remove the skin from the water and drain the water.
  • Add the seeds to the couscous.
  • Serve with a couple of leaves of mint.
