Ingredients

Method

1
Bring 1⅓ cups water to a boil in a pot, then add ½ teaspoon cinnamon and stir to combine.
2
Add ½ cup couscous to the boiling water, stir well, then remove from heat and cover with a lid.
5 minutes
3
Let the couscous rest covered for 5 minutes until the water is absorbed and the grains are tender.
4
Fluff the couscous with a fork to separate the grains, then spread it on a plate to cool slightly.
5
Peel and halve 1 large cantaloupe, remove the seeds, then cut the flesh into bite-sized cubes or balls.
6
Combine the cooled couscous with ⅓ cup roasted peanuts and ¼ cup golden raisins in a large bowl, then toss gently to mix.
7
Fold the cantaloupe cubes into the couscous mixture with care to avoid crushing the fruit.
8
Divide the spiced couscous among 4 serving bowls, then top each portion with ¼ cup fruit flavored yogurt.
9
Garnish each bowl with ½ tablespoon of minced fresh mint leaves and serve at room temperature or lightly chilled.
