PREPARATION:

1. In a medium pot, sauté onions and fennel in olive oil until translucent, 2-3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute more.
2. Add the chopped raisins, zest, turmeric, Dukkah and pine nuts to the onion mixture. Stir for 1-2 minutes until the onions have absorbed the color of the turmeric. 
3. Add couscous. Continue to stir and cook until couscous is slightly translucent around the outer edge and has been evenly folded into all the spice mixture. 
4. Add stock. Cover and simmer until couscous is cooked through, about 10 minutes. Add more stock or water if you would like it “soupy”.
