Couscous with apples, raisins, and prunes is a refined blend of sweetness and delicate texture inspired by Turkish culinary traditions. Couscous, a staple of Eastern dishes, absorbs the aromas of honey, melted butter, and caramelized apples. Raisins and prunes add a soft fruity tang while a pinch of chili powder adds a light spiciness. This dish is perfect for both a light breakfast and a cozy dinner. It has a pleasant texture balancing the fluffiness of couscous with the juiciness of fruits. It pairs wonderfully with a cup of fragrant tea or fresh nuts, complementing Eastern gastronomic tradition. It is quick and easy to prepare, transforming ordinary ingredients into an exquisite flavor symphony.
