Couscous
A traditional side dish of North African, commonly known as a Moroccan staple served with stewy things like Tagine. But essentially, I just use it like rice - serve it with anything!A light sprinkle of fresh herbs adds welcome colour, or fruit and nuts to add interest. Me, I do both! Exceptional served with Vegetable Tagine.Makes 5 cups (fluffed)
