The full recipe is presented here and I hope you enjoy this classic Tunisian version of: Couscous Breakfast (Farka).
Place the couscous in a bowl, combine the water, sugar and oil in a pan and bring to a boil. Stir to ensure the sugar is completely dissolved then pour over the couscous. Stir well to combine then cover the bowl and set aside to stand for 10 minutes.
After this time fluff the couscous with a fork to separate the grains before adding the nuts and dates and stirring to combine. Transfer the mixture to a dish about 33 x 22 x 5cm in size then cover and set aside to cool completely.
Once cold transfer to an oven pre-heated to 180°C and bake for about 20 minutes, or until heated through. Spoon into serving bowls and serve accompanied by a jug of hot milk and a bowl of sugar.
