Ingredients

Method

  1. Put couscous and cinnamon in a heatproof bowl. Pour over boiling water, cover and stand for 5 minutes, or follow the package liquid ratio if different.
  2. Fluff with a fork and let cool for 5 minutes. Divide between bowls and spoon yogurt alongside.
  3. Top with pear and walnuts, then drizzle with honey.
A little note

Keep yogurt separate from very hot couscous to preserve its creamy texture.

Cooking tips

  • Check the couscous package before measuring water; different products absorb different amounts.
  • Fluff with a fork rather than pressing with a spoon, then add yogurt after the grain has cooled slightly.
