Ingredients

1 teaspoon olive oil, or as needed
5 green onions, white parts only, chopped, or more to taste
4 cloves garlic, crushed
2 ¼ cups water
6 dates, pitted and chopped
½ (6 ounce) package sweetened dried cranberries (such as Craisins®)
½ cup golden raisins
¼ cup shelled peanuts
1 ½ cups pearl (Israeli) couscous
1 teaspoon chopped fresh cilantro, or more to taste
1 mango, peeled and chopped

Directions

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat; saute onion and garlic until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Add water to onion mixture and bring to a boil.
Stir dates, cranberries, raisins, and peanuts into onion mixture and bring to a boil again. Add couscous and cilantro to dried fruit-onion mixture; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover skillet, and simmer until water is mostly absorbed, 10 to 15 minutes.
