For a vegan option, substitute the butter with olive oil or a plant-based butter alternative. Feel free to experiment with other dried fruits such as figs or cranberries. Toasting the almonds enhances their flavor and adds a satisfying crunch. Watch them carefully while toasting to prevent burning. This couscous is delicious served warm or at room temperature.

May 24, 2024I've made this several times now, and it's always a crowd-pleaser. I sometimes add a pinch of cardamom for an extra layer of flavor.
