A healthy, sweet and very delicious Middle Eastern-inspired sweet couscous with apple, cinnamon and chia seeds.Couscous is one of the popular ingredients in the middle eastern cuisine and is used in many recipes. I have had tried couscous in few savory recipes before but have never tried the sweet version.

Method* Warm one cup of water and soak the chopped dates in it for about 15 minutes.
* Once soaked blend it in a mixer to make a smooth paste.
* Heat olive oil in a saucepan and add date paste, Chia Apple Cinnamon, and remaining water. Let it boil for a minute.
