Couscous Tfaya

Couscous Tfaya is a vibrant Moroccan dish featuring fluffy couscous topped with a sweet and savory mixture of caramelized onions, raisins, and a blend of aromatic spices. This vegan version is both hearty and wholesome, making for a delightful lunch option.

Ingredients

• Couscous - 150 grams
• Water - 300 milliliters
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Onion - 2 medium, thinly sliced
• Raisins - 50 grams
• Cinnamon - 1 teaspoon
• Ground cumin - 1 teaspoon
• Ground ginger - 1/2 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Chopped parsley - 2 tablespoons (for garnish)

Steps

1. In a saucepan, bring 300 milliliters of water to a boil. Add a pinch of salt and stir in the couscous. Remove from heat, cover, and let it sit for 5 minutes to absorb the water.
2. While the couscous is resting, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and sauté until they become soft and caramelized, about 10-12 minutes.
3. Stir in the raisins, cinnamon, ground cumin, ground ginger, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the raisins to plump up.
4. Fluff the couscous with a fork, then transfer it to serving plates. Top with the caramelized onion and raisin mixture.
5. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve warm.
