COUSCOUS WITH SAVORY CARAMELIZED ONION
This is the first Moroccan dish I've ever cooked for my family, and they were thoroughly impressed. I thought with all the rich spices, it might be too overwhelming for the kids, but they really enjoyed the combination. A good change from cold couscous salad for the winter. (from the Toronto Star)

Tips:
- For the creamiest pudding, use full-fat milk and heavy cream. You can also use a combination of milk and water, or all water, but the pudding will be less rich.
- To make sure the couscous is cooked evenly, stir it constantly while it is cooking. If it starts to stick to the bottom of the pan, add a little more liquid.
- To make the caramelized pecans, be sure to use a heavy-bottomed skillet so that the sugar doesn't burn. And don't stir the pecans too much, or they will become hard.
- Serve the pudding immediately, or chill it for later. If you are chilling the pudding, be sure to cover it tightly so that it doesn't absorb any odors from the refrigerator.
Conclusion:
This couscous pudding is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is creamy and rich, with a hint of sweetness from the caramelized pecans. The pudding can be served warm or cold, and it is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
