Couscous

Couscous is made from a special kind of wheat called durum wheat, the same kind of wheat that is used to make pasta. In Morocco, families pile steamed couscous on a large platter, with the meats and vegetables placed on top. Enjoy couscous as a side dish with North African tagine, chermoula, and oranges with fresh mint.
