This recipe is meant to be a special breakfast treat during the cold and dreary days of winter. The delicate textures, sunny colors, and bright, cheerful flavors make for a healthy and satisfying breakfast to energize a loved one who's always taking care of everyone else first. Make this for Valentine's morning, as part of a Mother's Day brunch (increasing quantities), or to change up your normal breakfast routine. Couscous is quick-cooking, requiring only a 5-10 minute soak in boiling water. Citrus segments are arranged atop a fluffy bed of couscous flavored with the Moroccan touch of cinnamon and rose water. Almonds toasted with cinnamon and powdered sugar provide a sweet, crunchy topping and mint is fresh and lively. Feel free to use whatever citrus you can find, I used tangelo, mandarin orange, and blood orange.
