Ingredients

3 medium carrots, peeled and thinly sliced (about 1/4-inch thick) (1 1/4 cups)
1 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
2 1/2 cups water
2/3 cup golden raisins
1 1/2 cups couscous

Directions

Put the carrots olive oil, butter, salt, cinnamon, ginger, in a saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 8 minutes. Add the water and raisins to the carrots and bring to a boil. Stir in the couscous, pull the saucepan off the heat, cover, and set aside until the liquid is absorbed and the couscous is plump and tender, about 10 minutes.

When ready to serve, fluff the couscous with a fork.

Tasty side dish!
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

This is a really good dish as it stands but I think the next time I make it I will substitute some apple juice for some of... the water just to give it a bit more umph.Read more

At first skeptical - but then yum!
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

i was skeptical about the flavors of this recipe - i usually don't like cooking with cinnamon - but it all came out really... tasty! I added chicken to make this a meal, but it would be perfect as a side dish. Definitely worth a try, and super easy.Read more

amazing flavor
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

The flavors all worked extremely well. The only change that I did was to add toasted pine nuts and a little extra raisins. ... We just loved it!!Read more
