This simple Moroccan couscous is a wonderfully quick side dish, ready in under 20 minutes. Chicken stock, currants, and a touch of allspice create a fragrant base for the quick-cooking couscous. The method involves boiling the seasoned stock, stirring in the couscous, and letting it steam off the heat. The result is a light, fluffy, and subtly spiced grain dish that pairs beautifully with tagines, grilled meats, or roasted vegetables.
