Steps:
- Place the butter in a medium saucepan and melt over medium heat. When the butter is melted, add the carrot, onion and cinnamon and stir to coat. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened.
- Add the couscous and raisins and stir to combine. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 4-6 minutes to "toast" the couscous. Add the broth and salt and stir. Once bubbling (this happened right away for me), cover the pan with a lid and remove from heat. Let the pan sit, covered, for about 8 minutes until the liquid is fully absorbed. Fluff the couscous with a fork. Add the orange zest, orange juice, almonds, parsley, and black pepper (to taste). Stir together and fluff again before serving.

Steps:
- Heat some oil in a roasting tray and then add the onions and fry for about 5 mins until just softened. While you're frying, add the saffron strands to the stock if using, so the flavour and colour infuses. (If you are making the Fragrant chicken too (see 'Goes well with') use the same pan to add flavour to this dish and leave the juices in there, but you can tip out some of the chicken fat if you like).
- Tip the chilli into the tray, fry for 1 min more, then take off the heat. Add the couscous and stock, then cover with cling film for 10 mins. Once the couscous has absorbed all the stock, quickly chop the coriander (if you chop it too soon it will start to wilt), then fork it through the couscous with the almonds, dates and lemon juice and serve straight away. To serve cold, leave to cool, then add the chopped coriander just before eating.
