INSTRUCTIONS
Put apricots to soak in hot water for about 1/2 hour. Put the couscous in a shallow baking pan or ceramic dish, about 9 inches square and 2 inches high. Bring the water to a boil with the cinnamon and pour over the couscous. Cover the pan with foil and let the couscous sit for 5 to 10 minutes. Fluff with a fork. Bring the broth to a boil. Cook the vegetables in the broth until tender but not soft. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside Add the onions to the broth and cook until tender and translucent, 10 or 15 minutes over moderate heat. Add the garlic, spices, 2 tablespoons of the cilantro (I added some dried basil instead) and the tomatoes; cook for 2 minutes more. Add the vegetables and stir till reheated. Adjust seasoning and add lemon juice, if desired. NOTES : Spicy!
