Couscous, or “kuskus” as it’s known in the middle east, is a dish made of tiny round beads of rolled semolina wheat covered in fine wheat flour. Essentially, couscous is a pasta product. In the U.S., couscous is generally available in a pre-cooked option which only needs to be hydrated with water. This simple recipe gives you a glimpse into the endless realm of couscous. This dish is great as a side or a lite lunch.
