I don't cook coucous in the usual manner. I heat up some broth, then mince
some onion and garlic and hot peppers. I fry up the onion, garlic and
peppers, maybe add a little cumin or curry powder, add some chopped fried
apricot, then toss in the couscous for a minute, then add the broth, put
the top on the pot and let it sit for a minute.
