  • Difficulty: 1

  • Number of Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • 120 g Couscous, dry

  • 1 piece Orange, fresh

  • 2 spoons Honey

  • 70 g Nuts, hazelnuts

  • 1 handful Raisins, golden

  • 20 pieces Grapes, nutmeg, fresh

  • 2 teaspoons Spices, cinnamon, ground

Steps

  1. Pour the couscous into a bowl. In a small cup, bring a small amount of water to a boil. Pour the boiling water over the couscous (there should be enough water to completely cover the couscous), cover the bowl, and let it sit for 10 minutes so the couscous can absorb the water and swell.

  2. Cut the orange in half and squeeze the juice from both halves. Pour the juice into a small cup and place it on the stove. Add honey and heat the mixture while stirring, just long enough for the two ingredients to combine well.

  3. Roughly chop the hazelnuts. Rinse the grapes under running water. Cut them in half if desired. Once the couscous has absorbed all the liquid, pour the orange-honey juice over it and mix well. Add the raisins, grapes, and chopped hazelnuts. Mix everything together thoroughly.

  4. Serve the prepared couscous on plates, sprinkle with cinnamon, and enjoy.
