- Put couscous in a bowl or large measuring cup. Add the boiling water and immediately cover with a lid or tea towel.
- Let stand for 5 minutes, or until couscous has soaked up all the liquid.
- Stir in almonds, currants, and spices. When thoroughly combined, stir in olive oil. Allow to sit at room temperature or in the refrigerator for 2 hours, to allow flavors to blend and infuse the couscous.
- This tastes even better the second day. My favorite way to eat this is as a next-day breakfast. On summer mornings, it’s delicious straight out of the refrigerator! On chilly days, reheat gently in the microwave or on the stovetop. (Reheating too quickly can scorch the currants.)
