Couscous

Couscous is a staple food in North Africa. It is a traditional dish on th said region. It is made of semolina (durum wheat granules). It is often served with meat and vegetable stew.
I learned to eat and cook it here in the Netherlands. For me it taste like a flavored rice, but more healthier.

Are you curious how this one taste? Then try to cook it.

All you need: for making couscous
2 cups couscous
4 cups boiled chicken broth
Half Zucchini - minced
3 Spring onions - sliced into small rings
Half Paprika - minced
Few stalks Parsley - minced
5 pcs button mushrooms - minced
5 tbsp Olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste

Put the couscous granules into a big pan, pour the hot chicken broth in, cover for 10 minutes. The hard granules will turn into soft, chewy, ricey structure. Pour and mix the olive oil in.
Saute the vegetables until done. When vegetables are ready, mix it with the couscous. Mix the minced parsley in. Taste, then season with salt and pepper.
Enjoy!

You can serve yours with some meat and stew, grilled fish or chicken or beef or anything you like . I served mine with grilled pork and green salad.
