Method

6 clear steps

1
Measure ingredients and wash fresh produce. Keep raw animal products separate from ready-to-eat food.
2
Combine chicken broth and raisins in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat.
3
Add instant whole-wheat couscous, return just to a boil, cover and remove from heat. This steeping method is not suitable for pearl/Israeli couscous.
4
Let the saucepan stand for about 5 minutes, until the couscous has absorbed all of the broth.
5
Toast the measured almonds in a dry frying pan over medium-low heat for about 2–4 minutes, stirring often until lightly golden. Remove promptly so they do not scorch.
6
Remove the lid and fluff the couscous with a fork. Gently mix in the mint, almonds, and orange zest. Serve immediately.
