- Bring to a boil orange juice, cinnamon, cloves, turmeric, and cayenne pepper in a pan on medium-high heat, stirring a couple of times to blend the flavors.
- When the liquid boils, add the couscous and raisins, stir then cover the pan and turn off the heat. Leave to stand for 5 minutes at least, a little more if necessary. The juice should have been absorbed.
- Heat olive oil in a pan for 1-2 minutes Add chopped onions and peppers. Cook for 3-4 minutes or until tender. Turn off the heat and let the vegetables cool down.
- Transfer couscous to a large serving bowl, mix in onions and peppers and sprinkle almond slices over. Serve.
Notes
If you don't have it, substitute turmeric with yellow coloring. The coloring is flavorless while turmeric adds its particular tang, so the substitution will change slightly the taste of the dish.
