Method

  1. Chop the apricots small and put them in a bowl with the couscous, the cinnamon and a pinch of salt.
  2. Squeeze the juice of one orange over the couscous, then pour on 150 ml of boiling water from the kettle. Stir once, cover with a plate and leave for 5 minutes.
  3. In the meantime, use a sharp knife to cut the peel and pith from the second orange and slice the flesh into rounds. Roughly chop the pistachios.
  4. Fluff the couscous with a fork until the grains separate.
  5. Divide between two bowls and top with the yogurt, the orange slices and the pistachios. Drizzle over the maple syrup.

Tip Cut the peel and pith off the second orange with a sharp knife, so you are left with clean slices. Swap pistachios for any nut.
