Ingredients
- 1 cup couscous
- 1 1/4 cups water or vegetable broth
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 pears, diced
- 1/4 cup dried cranberries
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp ground ginger
- 1/4 cup chopped walnuts
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Мethod of preparation
Begin by heating the olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the diced pears and sauté until they start to soften. Stir in the ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger, cooking for another minute to release the fragrances. Pour in the water or vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, stir in the couscous, dried cranberries, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Remove from heat and cover. Let it stand for about 5 minutes, or until the couscous is fluffy and has absorbed all the liquid. Fluff the couscous with a fork, then mix in the chopped walnuts. Serve the couscous garnished with fresh parsley. This dish is a celebration of textures and flavors, from the soft, fragrant pears to the crunchy walnuts and the chewy cranberries, all embraced by the warm spices that bring a comforting yet exotic touch to your table.
