Yes, its one of my pregnancy cravings. All day I have had in mind if its possible to cook the couscous in strawberry flavored milk (instead of water) and add raisins and nuts (instead of olives and peppers)..then somehow make up balls! Does anyone have a recipe or know if its possible to cook something like this? Thanks
 
Sweet Couscous With Dates & Nuts

Ingredients
1 kg fine couscous, cooked (preferably steamed)
300 g walnuts (or other nuts)
200 g dates
80-100 g butter, softened
80-100 g ghee
1/2 teaspoon salt
sugar
Directions
1Place the cooked couscous in a large bowl & mix in the salt.
2De-stone the dates & roughly chop them. Chop the walnuts into relatively small pieces (about the size of a pea).
3Starting with 80g of each of the butter & the ghee, mix them into the couscous - the best way to do this is with your hands, Rub the couscous between your fingertips & palms until the grains are evenly coated.
4Set aside 2 tbsp of the dates & of the walnuts, mix the remainder into to the couscous & mix well until evenly distributed.
5Taste & add more butter or ghee if desired.
6Transfer the couscous to a large serving bowl & decorate with the reserved dates & walnuts. Sprinkle a little sugar over the top of the couscous & serve.
7Allow people to add their own sugar to taste.
