Product Description：In 2020, couscous was included in the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage List. Durum wheat is one of the most important cereals grown in regions such as North Africa, Southern Europe and the Middle East.
In Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, and Libya, it is generally served with vegetables (carrots, potatoes, and turnips) cooked in a spicy or mild broth or stew, usually with some meat (generally, chicken, lamb, or mutton).
Couscous with vegetables and chickpeas
This word comes from the Berber language and has a rather obscure meaning. We can only be sure that the "S" at the end means that it is rolled, steamed and rounded. Couscous originated in North Africa also known as the Maghreb. Now popular in Armenia and the Middle East. Due to the immigration of North Africans to many countries around the world, the dish is now increasingly famous in other regions such as southern France, Sicily and Brazil.

cooking
Couscous is usually steamed and eaten as a staple food. After steaming, it will become looser and can be made into rice bowls with lamb, beef, chicken, eggs, zucchini, carrots, chickpeas (you can add as much as you like), onions, Potatoes, tomatoes, parsley, white radish, green peppers, fennel, hot sauce, cumin, etc. are edible. There are also steamed "instant couscous" on the market. You only need to add boiling water and stir for a few minutes before eating, which is very convenient.
Couscous is not cooked but steamed (with hot water) and is usually served as a main dish. Spices are essential, the most commonly used being ginger, pepper and turmeric. These spices are added to broth along with chicken or red meat and vegetables. There should be enough for the stew, since couscous is dry and therefore highly absorbent. Couscous can also be served cold. In this case, it might be the base for a seafood salad, or it might be used to make Tabouleh. Couscous can also be made into confectionery with the addition of milk, raisins or almonds.
In Brazil, couscous is a typical dish from the northeast of the country and is part of three meals a day. Usually prepared from starch, wheat flour, corn, rice or cassava. In the Southeast, it is served with butter, eggs, or meat.
The word "couscous" (also cuscus or kuskus) first appeared in French in the early 17th century, from the Arabic kuskus,

Cooking Skills：Traditionally, North Africans used food steamers (called taseksut in Berber, كِзْكَר kiskas in Arabic, and couscousier in French). The base is a tall metal pot shaped like an oil can in which meat and vegetables are stewed. On top of the base, there is a steamer basket where the couscous is cooked, absorbing the flavors in the stew. The lid of a steamer has holes on the edge so that steam can escape. You can also use a pot with a steamer insert. If the hole is too large, line the inside of the steamer with damp cheesecloth.

Couscous is sold in most supermarkets in Europe and the United States and comes pre-steamed and dried; package instructions usually mention adding 1.5 parts boiling water or stock and cream to each serving of couscous and covering tightly for five minutes. The couscous will then puff up and within minutes it can be fluffed with a fork and served. Pre-steamed couscous takes less time to prepare than regular couscous.

Suggested Eating Method：
Traditionally, North Africans use food steamers (Berbell is called tasksutsut, and Arabic is called كِ з ْكَ ْكَ Kiskas, French is called Couscousier). The base is a tall metal pot with a shape like a oil pot with stew and vegetables inside. At the top of the base, there is a steamer. The place where the steamed coarse flour is the place where the thick wheat flour is steamed to absorb the taste of the stew. There are holes on the edge of the lid of the steamer so that the steam can be relieved. You can also use a pot with a steamer plug -in. If the holes are too large, you can pad the damp cotton cloth on the inside of the steamer.
