Today's dish is: Couscous
What is Couscous?
Couscous, sometimes called kusksi or kseksu – is a Maghrebi dish of
small steamed granules of rolled durum wheat semolina that is often
served with a stew spooned on top. Pearl millet, sorghum, bulgur, and
other cereals are sometimes cooked in a similar way in other regions,
and the resulting dishes are also sometimes called couscous.
Couscous is a staple food throughout the Maghrebi cuisines of Algeria
🇩🇿, Tunisia 🇹🇳, Mauritania 🇲🇷, Morocco 🇲🇦, and Libya 🇱🇾. It was
integrated into French and European cuisine at the beginning of the
twentieth century, through the French colonial empire and the
Pieds-Noirs of Algeria. In 2020, couscous was added to UNESCO's
Intangible Cultural Heritage list.
