This is our quick interpretation of an elaborate Sweet and savory Moroccan couscous. We have the sweetness of the raisins and the prunes, the savory Moroccan spices and the crunch of the almonds and pomegranate seeds.
The story behind it:
Have you ever tried Moroccan food? If you haven’t, you don’t know what you’re missing. It is AWESOME. The spices, the complex flavors, the heartiness… YUM!!!
A couple of nights ago, I got this huge craving for it . I wanted a steaming bowl of Moroccan couscous so badly I could taste it. But… I was tired and didn’t feel like making anything.
I wasn’t gonna give up, so what did I do? I reached out to my sister, of course… And after just a little bit of begging on my part, she offered to make it for me.
She didn’t have all the ingredients she needed so she couldn’t exactly make the “authentic” recipe. But there is one thing you should know about my sister: she is the best at making up new stuff. So she came up with her own version. Equally yummy, equally satisfying. Just perfect.
I once read a quote that said: “In the cookies of life, sisters are the chocolate chips”. How true…
—May I have that recipe
