Cous cous with Ras-el-Hanout and raisins


This recipe is more a side dish than a main one. It is perfect for taking with steamed fish, or to brighten up a chicken breast or grilled meat. The best: it is almost instantaneous, it is prepared in a single bowl in the microwave, which hardly stains at all, and the result is very, very tasty because the spices completely change the cous cous, without adding anything else , and sweeteness from raisins counterpoint the spicy side, making it a very, very interesting dish.
