Moroccan dishes often add in a little bit of sweet to balance out all the rest of the flavors, and it’s not different in this tabbouleh recipe. It’s super easy to make, feeds a big crowd, and is super yummy!

  1. Start off by pouring the couscous into a bowl that has a lid and add in salt, pepper, cumin, and coriander.
  2. Boil some water, pour it over the couscous just so it’s totally submerged, and then put the lid on for 10 minutes.
  3. While the couscous cooks, add some raisins to another bowl and soak in hot water for also 10 minutes.
  4. Chop up any herbs you like, such as mint, parsley, dill — or whatever else you have on hand.
  5. Once the couscous is cooked, fluff it with a fork and leave to the side.
  6. The raisins should start to plump up. After 10 minutes drain the water and pour the raisins into the bowl with the couscous.
  7. Put it all the herbs that you chopped up into the bowl as well and mix everything well.
  8. Serve cold and enjoy!
