Try this with the Moroccan-Style Roast Chicken . Ingredients:
2 cups hot water |
3/4 cup raisins |
4 tablespoons ( 1/2 stick) butter, divided |
3 tablespoons dry white wine |
1/2 teaspoon saffron threads |
1 cup couscous |
1 medium onion, chopped (about 1 1/2 cups) |
3/4 cup sliced almonds, toasted |
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon |
Directions:
1. Combine 2 cups hot water and raisins in small bowl. Soak raisins until softened, about 15 minutes. Drain water into large saucepan; reserve raisins. Add 2 tablespoons butter, wine, and saffron to pan; bring to boil. Stir in couscous. Cover, remove from heat, and let stand until liquid is absorbed, about 15 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter in medium skillet over medium-low heat. Add onion; cover and cook until translucent and tender, stirring occasionally, about 8 minutes. Mix onion, reserved raisins, almonds, and cinnamon into couscous. Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve.
