15-Minute Dinner: Moroccan-Spiced Couscous With Mint

Preparation

1. Take the prewashed couscous and lay it on top of a baking sheet. Take a little olive oil in your hands and break up all the clumps of couscous with your hands; let sit for about 5 minutes. Dice onion and set aside.

2. Fill a pot with 2 cups of water, add olive oil and sea salt, and bring to a boil. Once boiling, add in the couscous gradually while stirring, and place a lid on top partially covering it. Remove from heat and let steam for 5 minutes.

3. In a separate pan, heat olive oil and diced onion over a medium heat, and cook until clear and fragrant (5 minutes) add ras el hanout, and continue to stir.

4. Once cooked, place in a large bowl and combine with the sliced radish and dried apricot. Add in the cooked couscous, raw cashews, mint, and cilantro, and drizzle with the blossom water. Toss to combine, while adding more ras al hanout as desired.
