Ras El Hanout Couscous

Features:
    Cuisine:

    Cooking time assumes boiled couscous. Steamed is better, but takes longer.

    Having bought Ras el Hanout specifcally because I didn't know what it was or what to use it for, once I realised it was a Moroccan spice mix it naturally had to be tried with couscous and dried fruits.

    I could add tomatoes, garlic, lemon etc but I don't want to mask the blend of sesame seed oil and spice mix.

    Ras El Hanout Couscous, Cooking time assumes boiled couscous Steamed is better, but takes longer Having bought Ras el Hanout specifcally because I didn’t know what it was or what to use it for, once I realised it was a Moroccan spice mix it naturally had to be tried with couscous and dried fruits I could add tomatoes, garlic, lemon etc but I don’t want to mask the blend of sesame seed oil and spice mix , I didn’t have all the ingredients and wanted to have a filling lunch so I mixed the recipe up a bit but really love it I didn’t have apricots or dates but an apple I needed to use So I added that one, toasted some almond slivers and fried some chicken with more sesame and spice mix I halfed the recipe since I am not making family meals but I am now happy to have this meal for today and tomorrow Will make it again!
