Soak the cous cous in the water and allow to swell for 30 mins. Drain well, pressing out any excess water.
Fry the onion in the oil until browned , then add the garlic. Cook for 1-2 mins before adding the almonds and dates. Fry everything together for 2 mins, then add all the rind and juice. Stir well and toss into the cous cous. Season well with salt and pepper and add the spices. Use to fill the cavity of turkey or chicken, or cook separately in an ovenproof dish.
