Fruity Couscous
Zutaten für 4 Personen
- 350 ml pear juice
- 3 cardamom pods
- 3 cloves
- 70 g wholemeal couscous
- juice of one lemon
- 1–2 tbsp Sharkara
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 5 strands of saffron
- 100 g mixed dried fruit (apricots, raisins, prunes, apples)
preparation
Chop the dried fruit into small pieces and marinate in lemon juice. Bring the pear juice to the boil with the sugar and spices. Leave to stand for at least half an hour to allow the spices to release their full flavour. Strain out the spices and bring the liquid back to the boil. Add the couscous and the marinated dried fruit. Simmer for a few minutes. Turn the heat down to the lowest setting and leave the couscous to soak for about 10 minutes with the lid on. It should be very juicy. You may want to add a little more water or juice and sweeten to taste.
Serving
Spoon the couscous into small bowls, sprinkle with a little cinnamon and garnish with pomegranate seeds.
