Fruit And Yogurt Breakfast Couscous

Features:
    Cuisine:

    I have been making this recipe for about 12 years. used to make it for brunch but now I serve it for dinner as well. It is loved by all we have served it too. It's great to serve with fresh fruits and "Recipe#126982". If using frozen, defrost first. I have used other cheeses but I find this Monterey Pepper Jack (w/ jalapenos) to work best., cheddar is too bland. NOTE & UPDATE 8/08: I grated red potatoes and the casserole turned out too wet and slimy. UGH. I would suggest purchasing the "Simply Potatoes" or using a potato that bakes up drier. Hope this makes sense.

    Fruit and Yogurt Breakfast Couscous,This dish is light and fluffy and slightly sweet. Its quick and easy to throw together. Couscous is quite bland and inherits the flavors of what its cooked or mixed with so this dish soaks up the flavors of the honey-yogurt-cinnamon combination. This recipe is adapted from the Big Book of Recipes for Babies, Toddlers and Children.,I scaled this back for 1 serve but added some extra fruit (craisins and apricots) and nuts (pecans) and divided it as breakfast for the DM and myself with me having mine with yoghurt and we both thoroughly enjoyed this so quick and easy great tasting breakfast. Thank you AB Hall, made for PAC October 2011.

    Steps

    1
    Done

    Set Aside Two Bowls and Divide the Dry Couscous Between Them (pouring Half in Each).

    2
    Done

    If Using Dried Fruit, Set Aside a Third Bowl and Fill With the Fruit.

    3
    Done

    Add the Water and 1 Tbsp Honey to a Small Saucepan. Bring the Water to a Boil and Pour 1/2 Cup Boiling Water Over Each Bowl of Couscous. Pour the Remaining Water Over the Dried Fruit (this Will Allow the Fruit to Plump and Become Tender and Even More Delicious).

    4
    Done

    Cover Each Bowl of Couscous and Let Sit For 5-10 Minutes Until the Water Has Been Fully Absorbed. Fluff With a Fork.

    5
    Done

    Drain the Water from the Bowl of Fruit. Add Half the Yogurt to Each Bowl. Divide the Fruit in Half Between the Bowls. Divide the Chopped Almonds Between the Bowls. Drizzle Each Bowl With 1 Tbsp Honey. Sprinkle 1/4 Tsp Cinnamon on Each Bowl. Mix, If Desired. Enjoy, Its Delicious!

    Done

    Notes: I Love a Combination of Dried Fruit With This Dish. I Have Used Dried Apricots, Pears, Cherries, Raisins, Blueberries, Goji Berries, Currents and Dates (not All at Once, but Hey Why Not?). Raisins Are by Far the Easiest as They Are a Staple in Many Kitchens (and Theyre Great in This Dish).

    7
    Done

    Notes (for Serving an Adult and a Young Child): Divide the Dry Couscous Between Two Bowls: 1/2 Cup and 1/4 Cup. Make Sure to Chop the Dried Fruit Into Bite-Sized Pieces. When Dividing the Water Between the Bowls, Add 5-Oz Boiling Water to the Adult Portion and 3-Oz to the Child Portion (using a Measuring Cup Makes This Easy). Skip the Nuts If Your Child Hasnt Been Introduced to Them Yet or If the Pieces Are Large Enough to Present a Choking Hazard. Also, Make Sure Your Child Has Gotten an Ok from the Doctor to Eat Honey (typically Given at 1 Year).
