Cooking Preparation of the Recipe:

1/4 c Butter 2 1/4 c Chicken stock
1/4 ts Cinnamon, ground 1/2 c Currants
1/4 ts Cardamom, ground 1 1/2 c Couscous
1/8 ts Cloves, ground 1/4 c Cashews; or pistachios

Toast and chop cashews or pistachios. Melt butter in medium saucepan over
low heat. Add spices and cook 2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add stock
and currants. Can be prepared 4 hours ahead. Bring to boil. Mix in
couscous. Cover and remove from heat. Let stand 5 minutes. Fluff with
fork. Transfer couscous to bowl, add nuts and toss well.

Sylvia's comments: this was good! I was hesitant to try it because I'd
never heard of couscous and the spices sounded weird, but it was delicious
with just a hint of sweetness. I don't think that much butter was needed,
though (and I'd already cut it down!), will try less next time.

From _Bon Appetit_, October 1987.
