Pour 4 cups of water into pot. Add bag with seasonings (chicken stock, turmeric and cinnamon) and bring water to a boil.
-
If you have a large enough pot, empty couscous into water, stir, then add lid to pot and let sit for 8 minutes.
If you need to use another pot: empty couscous into pot, add boiled water with seasonings, stir, cover and let sit for 8 minutes. (I didn't have a lid for my extra pot, so I covered with aluminum foil and it worked perfectly).
*Another option is to break this recipe in half and use two regular sized pots
-
When couscous is ready, use a fork or spoon to fluff. Add carrots, salami, dates and stir until everything is mixed together. Top with crispy onions. Serve and devour!!!
If you have dietary restrictions in your group, I recommend setting the carrots, dates, salami and onions on the side and letting everyone add their own toppings based on their personal preferences.

I also bring flat bread for each group member. This way there is something extra for the super hungry people, and you can use the bread to scoop the last pieces of couscous from the bowl.

Be careful of little pieces of couscous that might fall to the ground. Clean up all messes and be sure to always leave no trace!
