Directions
- Whisk together yogurt sauce ingredients and set aside.
- Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add apricots, ginger, and salt. Cook, stirring, until softened (2-3 minutes). Add water and bring to a boil over high heat. Stir in couscous. Remove from heat, cover and let stand until the liquid is absorbed (5 minutes).
