Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Couscous
- 3 cups Milk
- 0.5 cup Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 piece Cinnamon stick
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 0.5 cup Raisins
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 cup Toasted nuts (e.g., almonds or pistachios)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the milk, cinnamon stick, salt, and sugar. Heat over medium heat until it just begins to simmer, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and discard the cinnamon stick.
Stir in the couscous, cover the saucepan, and let it sit off the heat for 5 minutes to allow the couscous to absorb the milk.
Uncover and fluff the couscous gently with a fork to break up any clumps.
Return the saucepan to low heat. Stir in the butter, vanilla extract, and raisins. Cook, stirring frequently, for about 5-7 minutes until the mixture becomes creamy and slightly thickened.
Remove the pudding from the heat and sprinkle in the ground cinnamon. Stir to combine.
Scoop the pudding into serving bowls while warm. Garnish each portion with toasted nuts of your choice and an additional dusting of ground cinnamon if desired.
Serve warm or at room temperature. You can also chill it in the refrigerator for a few hours to serve cold. Enjoy!
