A vibrant and flavorful couscous dish with a touch of sweetness and spice.
Heat the olive oil and butter in a large saucepan over medium heat.
Using a combination of olive oil and butter adds a rich flavor to the dish.
Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent.
Stir frequently to prevent the onion from burning.
Stir in the salt, curry powder, and grated carrot, cooking for another 2 minutes.
Adding the spices at this stage helps to release their aroma.
Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a boil.
Ensure the broth is hot to speed up the cooking process.
Stir in the couscous, cover, and remove from heat. Let it stand for 5 minutes.
Fluff the couscous with a fork after it has absorbed the liquid.
Mix in the dried apricots, spinach, and parsley, covering again for 2 minutes.
The residual heat will wilt the spinach perfectly.
Fluff the couscous again and serve warm.
Garnish with additional parsley for a fresh touch.
