Ingredients
Method
- 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.
- Fluff with a fork and let cool for 5 minutes. Divide between bowls and spoon yogurt alongside.
- 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.
