I'm always thinking up new ways to prepare hot cereal in the morning. Here's another one for you to try! For maximum health benefits, use whole wheat couscous. For a vegan version, try almond milk or soy milk! Ingredients:
1 1/4 cups milk |
1/2 cup couscous |
1 pinch salt |
1/2 teaspoon rose water or 1/2 teaspoon almond extract |
2 tablespoons dried fruit, chopped (dates, raisins, figs, etc.) |
sugar or honey, for sweetening, to taste |
ground cardamom |
2 tablespoons toasted almonds or 2 tablespoons roasted pistachios |
fresh sliced strawberry (optional) |
milk (optional) or cream (optional) |
Directions:
1. Bring the milk to the boil without scorching.
2. As soon as the milk starts to boil, stir in the couscous with a fork. Add a pinch of salt.
3. Reduce heat, cover and cook on low for 4 minutes.
4. Remove from heat and stir in the rose water or almond extract.
5. Garnish couscous with dried fruit, sugar, cardamom and nuts. If you wish, add a few slices of strawberries to each serving.
6. Also, you can pour a little bit of milk or cream on top.
7. Serve hot.
