An Oriental-Style Couscous Recipe This delicious couscous recipe will transport you to the exotic and flavorful cuisine of the Middle East. The combination of dried fruits, nuts, and aromatics creates a unique flavor profile that is unmatched by other culinary recipes. All of the ingredients can be found in most grocery stores. To get started, you will need 2 cups of couscous, 1 diced white onion, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon. Bring 4 cups of water to a boil in a large pot. Once boiling, add the couscous and simmer for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure the couscous doesn't stick to the bottom. Once the couscous is cooked, drain off any excess water and set aside. Meanwhile, you can begin to prepare the aromatics and nuts. In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion to the skillet, sautéing until the onions are soft and fragrant, about 7-8 minutes. Now add the cinnamon and stir until incorporated. Add a handful of dried fruit, such as raisins, cranberries, or apricots, and sauté until they are slightly softened. Once the aromatics and fruit have cooked, stir in a handful of nuts, such as almonds, walnuts, or pecans. Now that the aromatics and nuts have cooked, add them to the cooked couscous. Stir until everything is completely combined. Serve the couscous warm or at room temperature as a side dish or as a main course. This Oriental-style couscous is perfect as a side dish for any dish with Middle Eastern influences, or simply as a way to add a unique and flavorful twist to any basic dish.
