Steps

1

Rinse the mesfouf (fine couscous) twice and let it dry. Wash the apricots and prunes, then soak them in warm water.
2

Toss the mesfouf with a little oil, then steam it. Once it starts steaming, add a pinch of salt and a little more oil, sprinkle lightly with water (don’t add too much so it doesn’t get mushy), and let it absorb.
3

Chop the apricots into small pieces and place them at the bottom of the steamer basket. Add the mesfouf on top and steam again.
4

When it steams, sprinkle with a little more water and let it dry out.
5

Steam it one more time. When ready to serve, steam it a final time, then add the butter, granulated sugar, and powdered sugar. Garnish as you like, or serve plain with buttermilk or yogurt.
6

Steam the prunes separately and use them for garnish.
