Ingredients
milk
244 ml
unsweetened coconut milk
240 ml
cardamom pods
8
ground cinnamon
0.25 tsps
sugar
1 Tbsp
pomegranate seeds
82 g
Method
- Smash the cardamom pods open with the flat side of your knife (thats right, like a garlic clove).
- Combine the milk, coconut milk, and cardamom in a saucepan and place over low heat. Bring to just below a boil, stirring every once in awhile. It will be a little foamy.
- Strain the cardamom pods out since the shells are not so good to eat.
- Add the couscous and simmer on low for 10-12 minutes, until all the liquid absorbs. The couscous should be tender but still with some chew to it.
- Stir in the cinnamon, sugar, and pomegranate seeds. I used the seeds from half a pomegranate. If you dont have pomegranate seeds, or dont like them, try substituting raisins or dried cranberries.
