Recipe Review

27th October 2012

Peckish Sister from Central, FL

We enjoyed this for breakfast though it did feel strange to taste sweet couscous. I made this rather quickly in the morning, micorwaving the couscous twice. I used brown sugar in the boiling water. I added the orange blossom water even though I am not usually a fan and did not mind it here. I used raisins in the couscous and topped it with the oranges, dates and pomegranite arils. Rather than cutting the oranges over the couscous, I quickly peeled and sectioned them by hand, cut the sections into bite-sized pieces and made up for the lack of dripping juice while cutting by splashing some orange juice on top. The pomegranite arils are what made this spectacular for me. However, I don't see myself making this on a regular basis. But it would be nice as a special treat when pomegranites and oranges are in season.
