Ingredients
- A handful of dried apricots, roughly chopped
- 1 orange, zested and juiced
- 200g of couscous
- 500ml of full-fat milk
- 3 Tbsp. of runny honey
- A handful of pistachios
- A pinch of cinnamon
Method
- Put the chopped apricots into a bowl and the zest of the orange, and pour in just enough boiling water to cover them.
- Put the couscous into a pan over medium heat and add the milk and 2 tablespoons of the honey, bring to a simmer and let it cook away for about 5 to 7 minutes, stirring every now and then. Make sure it does not dry out too much, you want it to have a fairly wet texture.
- Meanwhile, toast the pistachios in a hot dry pan then add the remaining honey.
- Tip the apricots and the juice and puree in a blender with the orange juice.
- Divide the couscous between your serving bowls then add pureed apricots and spoon over some sticky pistachios and a sprinkle of cinnamon.
