Ingredients
- Ingredients
150 g couscous
125 ml cashew milk
1 tsp cinnamon
8 dates
6 dried figs
6 dried apricots
4 tbsp raisins
3 tbsp coarsely chopped almonds
3 tbsp grated almond
1 pomegranate
A couple of mint leaves
1 tbsp of orange blossom water
Preparation
- 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.
