  • Heat a large nonstick skillet over moderate heat.
  • Add the couscous and toast the grains, stirring or shaking the pan frequently, until the grains become brown and fragrant.
  • Transfer to a plate.
  • Add the almonds to the hot skillet and toast them in the same way, stirring frequently.
  • Transfer them to another plate.
  • Bring the stock to a boil with the celery, salt, pepper, cumin, and cayenne.
  • Simmer about 3 minutes or until the celery is slightly softened.
  • Add the couscous and raisins to the saucepan and stir gently just to mix.

  1. A very enjoyable couscous and I must admit toasting the couscous added a slight nuttiness to the taste, I did use sultanas in place of the raisins but found myself a little short and added some dried cranberries (craisins) to make up the rest. Thank youDancer^, made for Bargain Basement.
