  • Couscous is made from wheat, and it makes a really tasty, filling porridge. Its sweet, creamy flavor will win anyone over, and it couldn't be easier to make—let's walk through it. First, rinse the measured couscous under running water until the water runs clear, then transfer it to a heat-resistant ceramic or glass bowl of a suitable size. Next, pour the milk into a small saucepan and set it over high heat. Bring it to a boil, adding the sugar as it heats, and drop in a whole cinnamon stick (wash and pat it dry first). Add the lemon zest too—keep it in a whole piece rather than grated, so it's easy to fish out later (otherwise you'll need to strain the milk through a fine sieve). The zest is optional, but it adds an interesting note to the finished porridge; just remember to use only the bright-yellow outer layer of the peel, with none of the white pith, which would add unwanted bitterness. Stir until the sugar dissolves completely. Once the milk boils, wait about half a minute, then remove the cinnamon stick and lemon zest. Pour the boiling, fragrant milk over the couscous and—without stirring—cover the bowl with a lid. Let the couscous sit for 10 minutes. Your couscous porridge with milk is ready. Dust it with ground cinnamon and a little ground ginger (also optional). Top with pieces of fruit—bananas, ripe pears, and tangerine segments all work well. You can also add your favorite dried fruit, berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries are ideal), chopped nuts, or seeds. These add-ins not only brighten the flavor but make the whole dish more nourishing. Enjoy—and have a cheerful, successful day!
