10 minutes
Couscous porridge with nuts and raisins is a delicate and aromatic dish that combines the softness of the grain with the rich flavor of nuts and the sweetness of raisins. Couscous soaked in hot milk becomes airy and light, while hazelnuts and pine nuts add a crunchy texture and pronounced nutty taste. Dark raisins contribute pleasant sweetness, creating a balance of flavors. This dish is perfect for breakfast or a light dinner; it is nutritious and warming. In European cuisine, couscous has become a versatile side dish, but in this recipe it plays the main role, transforming into a tender porridge with noble flavor. The simplicity of preparation makes this recipe accessible, while the ability to adjust the sweetness and thickness of the porridge is convenient for every taste.
