SEFFA (SWEET COUSCOUS WITH ALMOND MILK)

Steps:

• 1. Combine the milk and almonds in a saucepan with a lid and bring to a boil over medium/high heat. Turn off the heat, cover and let sit while you proceed with the recipe.
• 2. Put 2 tablespoons of the butter in a medium saucepan and turn heat to medium/low. When butter melts, add the couscous and cook stirring for 1 minute.
• 3. Add 2 1/4 cups water and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then turn heat down very low.
• 4. Cover and cook until all the liquid is absorbed, about 7-12 minutes. While the couscous is cooking, soak the raisins, apricots and dates in warm water.
• 5. Pour the couscous into a large serving bowl and stir in the remaining butter along with the drained fruit. Fluff the couscous and break up any lumps.
• 6. Add the sugar and cinnamon and stir and taste to adjust seasonings if needed. Strain (or not) the almond milk and pour over the couscous and serve.
