Moroccan sweet couscous recipe

Arabic recipes are usually very exotic and full of flavor. On this occasion, we wanted to make a version of Arabic couscous, giving it a sweet touch and mixing it with nuts that are widely used in Morocco.

The Moroccan sweet couscous that we have prepared in can be served as a dessert or at snack time, accompanied by a Moorish tea. We look forward to your comments and photos!

Ingredients to make Moroccan Sweet Couscous:

• 1 cup of couscous
• 6 units of dates
• 6 units of prunes
• 1 tablespoon currants
• 1 tablespoon Almonds
• 1 tablespoon of Sugar
• ½ tablespoon ground cinnamon
• ½ tablespoon vegetable margarine

How to make Moroccan Sweet Couscous:

1. We gather all the ingredients to make the Moroccan sweet couscous.
2. To cook the couscous, we heat water and, when it boils, we add it to the pasta until it covers it. Let the couscous rest for 3 minutes.
3. After that time, we add a little vegetable margarine or olive oil, and move with a fork so that it mixes well and the couscous grains separate.
4. Let stand another 3 minutes.
5. When the couscous is still warm, add the sugar and ground cinnamon and stir well to integrate the flavors.
6. It is time to incorporate the fruits that we like the most. We have added some currants.
7. Add the prunes and almonds.
8. Walnuts or pine nuts can also be added. We have used natural almonds, but if you feel like it, you can add some spiced nuts.
9. Finally, we add the pitted dates and we can now taste this sweet Moroccan couscous.
