Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked couscous
  • 1 large pomegranate or 2 mediums
  • 1 tbsp granulated sugar (or more if you like)
  • 2 tbsp butter (or more if you like)

Instructions

  1. Remove the seeds from the pomegranate and set aside.

  2. To prepare the couscous, please check the link above.

  3. Once the couscous is steamed for the second time, dump it in a large dish.

  4. Fluff the couscous with a wooden spoon and immediately add butter and let it melt then add the granulated sugar. Since I cooked my couscous ahead of time (a day before), I only need to warm it up by steaming it for few minutes then add butter and sugar.

  5. Mix everything well, then let the couscous cool for a little bit.

  6. Add pomegranate seeds (as much or as less as you want).

  7. Mix well.

  8. Put in a serving dish and garnish with more pomegranate seeds.

  9. Serve with buttermilk.

Recipe Notes

  • You can make the couscous fragrant with orange blossom water or rose water. Before steaming the couscous for the second time, you can sprinkle it with about 1/4 cup orange blossom water or rose water, then sprinkle it with  water. Let absorb, fluff it then steaming for the second time.
  • I only steam my couscous twice ( longer time) and it’s fully cooked. Since I used a couscous that I cooked ahead of time,  I steamed it for few minutes to warm it up.
