Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups hot water
3/4 cup raisins
4 tablespoons butter, divided
3 tablespoons dry white wine
1/2 teaspoon saffron thread
1 cup couscous
1 medium onions or 1 1/2 cups onions, chopped

Mix onion, reserved raisins, almonds, and cinnamon into couscous. Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve.

I'm allergic to almonds. Do you think I could substitute another nut, like walnuts or pecans?

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my dish turned out really bland. I think I might have forgotten to add the salt.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for me, but I think I'll try it again with less cayenne pepper.
