Cook the Couscous

In a medium pot, bring water or chicken broth to a boil.

Add the couscous and salt, stir, and remove from heat.

Cover and let it sit for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.

Prepare the Toppings

In a skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat.

Add the chopped onion and cook until soft and golden, about 5 minutes.

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute.

Add the dried apricots, almonds, cinnamon, turmeric, ginger, and black pepper. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the apricots are softened.

Combine and Serve

Gently fold the apricot mixture into the cooked couscous.

Drizzle with honey if desired for extra sweetness.
