Made from dried durum wheat, couscous is a popular alternative to rice and pasta.
Traditionally served in North Africa, it is a staple ingredient for many Moroccan dishes. It has a light fluffy texture and is a little mild in flavour but readily soaks up the flavours of other ingredients. Serve with a stew spooned on top, or simply added roasted vegetables for a salad that tastes good hot or cold.
It's super easy to make by simply pouring boiling water over the dried couscous and leaving to stand for 5-15 minutes
