Vegetarian Low-Fat Couscous Pudding

 

11/2 cs. water

5 ozs. couscous (a little less than 1 cup)

1/2 c. dried fruit (raisins, chopped figs or dates, for example)

11/2 cs. soymilk or other milk alternative

1/4 c. maple syrup

1/4 tsp. cinnamon

2 tbsps. cornstarch

 

Bring water to a boil in a small pot. Add couscous and dried fruit. Cover

pot, remove from heat, and allow to sit 5 minutes.

Meanwhile, in a separate medium-size pot, heat remaining ingredients over

medium-high heat until the pudding starts to thicken (about 3 minutes).

While heating, stir often with a whisk. Once pudding thickens, remove from

heat and add cooked couscous mixture. Mix well. Pour pudding into a serving

dish and chill for at least 1 hour before serving.

Makes 4 servings.
