Step by Step guide
Step 1
Rub the melted butter into the couscous with your hands. You can use any technique you prefer: either rub the couscous with the butter between your palms or between your thumb and index finger—whichever is more comfortable for you. Transfer the couscous to a deep, large plate with a flat bottom.
Step 2
Dissolve sugar, lemon juice, and cinnamon in boiling water, then pour this mixture over the couscous. Cover the bowl with a lid and let the couscous soak up the liquid. This is not the most traditional, but the simplest way to prepare couscous. You can also steam couscous in a steamer if you have one suitable for it, or buy a special couscous pot. Alternatively, you can use a fine cheesecloth by placing the couscous on it in a regular steamer.
Step 3
Remove the seeds from the pomegranate, lightly toast the pine nuts and raisins in melted butter.
Step 4
Mix the pomegranate, nuts, finely chopped mint, and raisins with the couscous and yogurt.
