1. Preheat the oven to 220 °C / 425 °F. Place the red grapes on a small baking tray, add 1 tablespoon of honey, the orange zest, and a pinch of the ground cinnamon. Toss well and roast for 12 minutes, until the grapes are juicy and lightly caramelized.

2. While the grapes roast, heat a small skillet over medium heat and melt the butter. Add the walnuts, 1 tablespoon of honey, and the remaining ground cinnamon. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring, until the walnuts are glossy and fragrant. Remove from the heat and set aside.

3. In a medium saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat with the salt and half of the vanilla extract until hot, without letting it boil vigorously. Stir in the couscous, mix once, turn off the heat, cover, and let it stand for 5 minutes.

Chef tips
For a more elegant finish, add a little extra orange zest over the grapes right after roasting. If you want more contrast, serve the yogurt very cold over the warm couscous.
Substitutions
You can replace the walnuts with almonds or pecans, and the red grapes with fresh figs or chopped plums. Greek yogurt can be replaced with thick plain yogurt.
