I made this as written except for stirring in the fresh herbs *right* before serving. I subbed aleppo chili powder from Turkey and Israeli/pearl couscous in place of standard. Wonderful pairing with roasted chicken. This would also work with basmati rice, too! Made for 'Land of Figs and Apricots' tag game. Yum!

Directions

Moroccan Spiced Couscous With Fruits, I found this at veganfood net :), I made this as written except for stirring in the fresh herbs *right* before serving I subbed aleppo chili powder from Turkey and Israeli/pearl couscous in place of standard Wonderful pairing with roasted chicken This would also work with basmati rice, too! Made for ‘Land of Figs and Apricots’ tag game Yum!, I awoke quite early this morning and decided that breakfast should be something special as I had plenty of time, lol Anyway this just really hit my buttons and it made a great morning food One serving (DH wasn’t interested, no surprise) I mixed olive oil and fresh lemon juice and had to use everyday chili powder It all came out to be a real treat, even using the dry veggie stock mix which I keep as backup It’s not a light dish and it’s sugar heavy but it is delicious and a real pleasure I had a mug of hot apricot tea to go with My day is off to a great start Made for: In The Lands of Figs and Apricots in the NA/ME forum
