Steps:
- In a medium saucepan, combine the water, sugar, cranberries, apricots, and cherries. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar has dissolved, about 2 minutes. Stir in the couscous and remove the pan from the heat. Cover the pan with a tight fitting lid until the couscous has absorbed all of the cooking liquid, about 5 to 7 minutes.
- Using a fork, fluff the couscous to break up any lumps. Add the almonds and hazelnuts and toss. Spread the mixture evenly on a baking sheet until completely cooled, about 10 minutes.
- Transfer the couscous to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator.
- Serving Suggestion: Drizzle the couscous with 1/4 cup of extra-virgin olive oil for a moister texture.

Steps:
- Heat the olive oil in a small frying pan over medium heat. Add the chopped red onion and saute until translucent, about 3-5 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
- Add the chicken stock and orange juice to a medium saucepan. Bring just to a boil over medium heat, then immediately remove from the heat, add the couscous and the apricots to the pan, and cover tightly with a lid. Shake the pan once or twice to make sure the couscous is evenly submerged under the hot liquid. Allow the couscous to steam for 5-7 minutes.
- Remove the lid from the pan and use a fork to gently fluff the couscous. Add the sautéed red onions, pistachios, chickpeas, preserved lemon, and parsley to the pan and stir to combine. Season to taste with sea salt. Sprinkle with pomegranate sees and serve immediately on its own or underneath Moroccan-Braised Lamb.

ISRAELI COUSCOUS WITH PISTACHIOS AND APRICOTS
This recipe was adapted from Veganomics: The Ultimate Vegan Cookbook. They write that it is Turkish inspired and suggest serving it with grilled vegetables or sweet potatoes, brussel sprouts, and/or red pepper. It sounds good to me, but I love cardamom and cinnamon. Thank you Citruholic and LA Kate for your helpful reviews! Use Veggie broth if you prefer.
