Couscous with Milk

Couscous with Milk is a traditional Moroccan breakfast that combines fluffy couscous with creamy milk and sweet spices, creating a comforting start to the day. This protein-rich dish is both satisfying and nourishing, perfect for energizing your morning.

Ingredients

• Couscous - 100 grams
• Milk - 400 milliliters
• Honey - 2 tablespoons
• Cinnamon - 1 teaspoon
• Almonds - 30 grams, chopped
• Raisins - 30 grams

Steps

1. In a saucepan, bring 200 milliliters of milk to a gentle boil, then remove from heat.
2. Add couscous and a pinch of salt to the boiling milk, stir well, cover, and let it sit for about 5 minutes to allow the couscous to absorb the milk.
3. In a separate small saucepan, heat the remaining 200 milliliters of milk with honey and cinnamon over low heat until warmed through, stirring occasionally.
4. After the couscous has absorbed the milk, fluff it with a fork and stir in the butter until melted.
