Thiakry (Couscous Pudding)

Ingredients

• 1 cup Couscous
• 2 cups Yogurt
• 1/4 cup Sugar
• 1 tsp Vanilla extract
• 1 tsp Grated lemon zest
• 1/4 tsp Nutmeg
• 1/4 cup Raisins

Instructions

1. 1In a medium pot, combine the 1 cup of couscous with 1 cup of water and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to low, cover, and let steam for 5 minutes, or until the water is absorbed and the couscous is tender. Remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes.
2. 2While the couscous is steaming, in a medium bowl, whisk together the 2 cups of yogurt, 1/4 cup of sugar, 1 tsp of vanilla extract, 1 tsp of grated lemon zest, and 1/4 tsp of nutmeg until well combined and smooth.
3. 3Fluff the cooked 1 cup of couscous with a fork to separate the grains. Add the fluffed couscous to the bowl with the yogurt mixture.
4. 4Gently stir the couscous into the yogurt mixture until everything is evenly incorporated. Then, stir in the 1/4 cup of raisins.
5. 5Cover the bowl and place it in the refrigerator to chill for at least 30 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld and the pudding to thicken.
6. 6Serve the thiakry cold.
