A vibrant and flavorful couscous dish inspired by Persian cuisine, perfect for any occasion.
Combine the couscous, sugar, and grated zest of the orange in a mixing bowl.
Grating the orange zest finely will help distribute the citrus flavor evenly.
Pour boiling water over the couscous mixture, cover, and let it sit for 6 minutes.
Covering the bowl tightly ensures the couscous absorbs the water properly.
In a small frying pan, heat the butter and olive oil, then toast the pine nuts and currants until fragrant.
Stir constantly to prevent the nuts from burning.
Fluff the couscous with a fork and mix in the toasted nuts and currants.
Fluffing the couscous ensures a light and airy texture.
Garnish with finely chopped spring onions and coriander leaves before serving.
Add the herbs just before serving to retain their freshness and color.
