Method
1.
Chop up the apricots into small pieces and place them in a bowl with the dry couscous, raisins, spices and salt & pepper. Mix well with a spoon.
2.
Pour the hot stock over the couscous, stir and cover with a plate or cling film and leave for 5 minutes until all of the stock has been absorbed.
3.
When ready to serve, use a fork to fluff up the couscous in order to separate the grains.
4.
Chop up the coriander and sprinkle over the couscous.
Pro tip:

Cous cous is so versatile; change this recipe completely by using chopped peppers with paprika or go simple using ingredients from the freezer (sweetcorn and peas) without any herb or spice additions.
