This aromatic spiced couscous is a vibrant, dairy-free side dish that brings a touch of Middle Eastern flair to your dinner table. Infused with earthy cumin, smoky paprika and bright turmeric, the grains are light and fluffy, providing a beautiful base for the contrasting textures. The combination of sweet dried currants and salty, spiced stock creates a complex flavour profile that works well with a variety of main courses.
Quick to prepare and naturally nutritious, this recipe is topped with sliced almonds sautéed in extra-virgin olive oil until golden and crisp. This adds a delightful crunch and a rich, nutty finish to the dish. It is a brilliant accompaniment to grilled lamb, roasted chicken or a hearty vegetable tagine, making it a versatile staple for healthy weekday eating or relaxed weekend entertaining.

How to make Couscous with Sautéed Almonds and Currants
In a medium bowl, combine the couscous, broth, paprika, cumin, turmeric, salt, and pepper, cover tightly with plastic wrap, and let rest for 5 minutes. Uncover and fluff with a fork.
While the couscous is resting, heat the oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the almonds and cook, stirring, until fragrant and lightly golden, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer almonds and oil to a small bowl. Transfer fluffed couscous into a serving bowl and top with currants and the toasted almonds along with their oil.
