Couscous

Couscous is a traditional North African dish made from durum wheat semolina. It consists of tiny granules that can be prepared very quickly, simply pour boiling water or broth over them and let them rest for a few minutes. The flavor is mild and neutral, which makes it excellent at absorbing the aromas of spices and other ingredients. It is used as a side dish for meat and vegetables, but also works well in cold salads or soups. In Moroccan tagines and tabbouleh-style dishes it is absolutely essential. The wholegrain version has a more pronounced nutty flavor and a higher fiber content. Couscous is valued for its quick preparation and versatility in the kitchen.
