Servings: 4

Preparation duration: -1 minutes

Cooking duration: -1 minutes

 

Ingredients:

1 cup milk

1 cup coconut milk (I prefer unsweetened so I can control the amount of 1 cup Israeli couscous

8 pods green cardamom

1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 tablespoon sugar

1/2 cup pomegranate seeds

Equipment:

knife

sauce pan

Cooking instruction summary:

Smash the cardamom pods open with the flat side of your knife (thats right, like a garlic clove). Combine the milk, coconut milk, and cardamom in a saucepan and place over low heat. Bring to just below a boil, stirring every once in awhile. It will be a little foamy. Strain the cardamom pods out since the shells are not so good to eat. Add the couscous and simmer on low for 10-12 minutes, until all the liquid absorbs. The couscous should be tender but still with some chew to it. Stir in the cinnamon, sugar, and pomegranate seeds. I used the seeds from half a pomegranate. If you dont have pomegranate seeds, or dont like them, try substituting raisins or dried cranberries.
