Couscous

Couscous is a staple in North African and Middle Eastern cuisine, featured in traditional dishes like Moroccan tagines and Algerian couscous. While Algerian couscous includes a variety of spices, vegetables, and meat, the couscous being sold is typically just rolled semolina.

Use this versatile ingredient as a base for salads, as a side dish, or to add texture to stews and soups. For a sweet treat, mix it with nuts, dried fruit, and honey.
