Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups hot water
3/4 cup raisins
4 tablespoons butter, divided
3 tablespoons dry white wine
1/2 teaspoon saffron thread
1 cup couscous
1 medium onions or 1 1/2 cups onions, chopped
3/4 cup sliced almonds, toasted

The couscous was a bit dry. I would add more liquid next time.

This recipe is a bit too sweet for my taste. I would reduce the amount of sugar next time.

I'm not a big fan of raisins, so I omitted them from the recipe. The couscous was still delicious.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken or lamb. I added some chopped meat to the couscous and it was a delicious and hearty meal.

This recipe is a winner! The couscous was fluffy and flavorful, and the raisins and almonds added a nice sweetness and crunch. I will definitely be making this again.
