Couscoustastic


April 15th, 2009

I mentioned before about couscous that I had with my lamb tagine that I made the other week, so what is couscous?

Couscous is actually made from semolina which is sprinkled with water and rolled with the hands to form small pellets it is then sprinkled with dry flour to keep the pellets separate, and then sieved. The pellets which are too small to be finished grains of couscous fall through the sieve to be again sprinkled with dry semolina and rolled into pellets. This process continues until all the semolina has been formed into tiny grains of couscous.

To cook the couscous take a large cup fill it with water/stock and then pour it in a pan and heat (do not boil), add the same amount of couscous, stir then place on the lid and leave for 5 mins. Remove the lid then stir, the couscous should now be cooked but it can be fairly bland so you need to add flavours, depending on what you are serving it with.

Here are some of my favourites

  • Oilve oil, pomegranate seeds and coriander
  • Tomatoes, spring onions, pepper, coriander and diced dried fruit
  • Cashew nuts

Basically use your imagination and add whatever you like!
