Ingredients:

Serving

1 kg fine couscous, cooked (preferably steamed )
300 g walnuts (or other nuts)
200 g dates
80 -100 g butter, softened
80 -100 g ghee
1/2 tsp salt
sugar

Directions:

Place the cooked couscous in a large bowl & mix in the salt.
De-stone the dates & roughly chop them. Chop the walnuts into relatively small pieces (about the size of a pea).
Starting with 80g of each of the butter & the ghee, mix them into the couscous - the best way to do this is with your hands, Rub the couscous between your fingertips & palms until the grains are evenly coated.
Set aside 2 tbsp of the dates & of the walnuts, mix the remainder into to the couscous & mix well until evenly distributed.
Taste & add more butter or ghee if desired.
Transfer the couscous to a large serving bowl & decorate with the reserved dates & walnuts. Sprinkle a little sugar over the top of the couscous & serve.
Allow people to add their own sugar to taste.
