Bring 100 ml water and spinach to the boil briefly in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring several times. Then let it simmer for about 8 minutes. Pour into a sieve and drain well.
Heat 1 tbsp. oil, 250 ml water and 1 tsp. salt in a saucepan. Remove from heat, stir in the couscous and let it swell for about 2 minutes. Add butter in flakes, simmer for 2-3 minutes at low heat, loosening the couscous grains with a fork.
Peel, wash and slice the carrots. Peel and chop onions and garlic. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large frying pan, fry the onion and garlic until translucent, add the carrots and fry covered for 5-6 minutes.
Break the cheese into pieces. Wash parsley, shake dry and cut into fine strips, except for 1 leaf for garnishing. Cut dates in half and stone them. Mix couscous, spinach, dates, parsley and cheese into the carrots.
Heat briefly while turning. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Garnish with parsley.
