Ingredients

• 2 cups dry couscous
• 1/2 cup diced dried apricots (preferably Turkish)
• 3 cups boiling water
• 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions

1. In a medium-size baking dish, stir together couscous and apricots. Mix boiling water and salt in a measuring cup. Pour over couscous, and immediately cover the dish with foil. Let stand until liquid is absorbed, about 5 minutes. Remove foil, and fluff couscous with a fork. If you need to keep it warm, place couscous in a low oven until ready to serve.;
