How To Make Couscous
To cook couscous, bring the liquid, olive oil or butter, and salt, if desired, to a boil in a medium saucepan.
Gradually stir in the couscous.
Remove the pan from the heat, cover with the lid, and let stand 5 minutes.
Before serving or using in a recipe, fluff the couscous with a fork.

Berkoukech With Meat: A Delicious Dish of Stewed Meat, Spices and Large Grain Semolina. This dish is popular across North Africa. In Morocco you’ll find versions with Ras El Hanout, in Algeria versions that are packed with vegetables and in Tunisia a version packed with firey harissa. This dish is commonly made in the winter months but is also made in Morocco after giving birth.
Here’s a version I created at home after eating a delicious Berkoukech dish at @ledouar.marrakech
Ingredients:
4T olive oil
1 large onion, grated
2 tomatoes, grated
1t turmeric
1.25t paprika
1.25t ground ginger
.75t black pepper
1/2t ras al hanout
Salt, to taste
3T finely chopped cilantro
1T tomato paste
300g Berkoukech or Petits Plombs
1 chili pepper (optional)
500g lamb or beef stew meat, with bones
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the grated onion, beef, spices and chopped cilantro. Let cook for a few minutes to lock in the flavors. Add grated tomatoes and tomato paste and cook for a few more minutes. Season generously with salt.
Add 1.7L of of water, bring to a boil, reduce to simmer, add chili pepper (if using) and cook over medium low heat for about an hour until the meat is tender and broth is flavorful.
Add an additional .5L of water (if needed) and bring to boil. Add berkoukech and cook for another 20 minutes until berkoukech is plump and tender.
Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve immediately.

Cheerful Cherry Citrus Couscous
This Cheerful Cherry Citrus Couscous is full of fruity, citrus flavor! It's simple and fun to make! This dessert features couscous which cooks in only 6 minutes!! There are numerous ways to garnish this dessert, so feel free to be creative! You can even garnish to match your party or holiday theme!
Ingredients:
1/2 Teaspoon - Oil (used to toast almonds)
1/2 Cup - Almonds (sliced)
3 Cups - Water
1/4 Cup - Dried Cherries
1/4 cup - Dried Cranberries
1 + 3/4 Cup - Couscous (dry couscous)
1/4 Cup - Oil
1/3 Cup - Sugar
Juice of 1 Tangerine (about 1/8 cup)
Tips:
-I used a 10 oz. package of Plain Couscous, which contained 1 and 3/4 cup of couscous. The couscous package will be labeled durum wheat semolina.
-Be sure to use a pan with a tight-fitting lid, so that the couscous will be cooked properly.
-The couscous can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. I suggest warming the couscous before serving.
Optional Ingredients/Ideas:
Almonds: Instead, you could use walnuts, pecans, or any other kind of nut. The taste will vary depending on what kind of nut you use.
Dried Cherries: Instead, you could use fresh cherries.
Oil: I used canola oil, but you could use olive oil or another kind of oil. I suggest using a light-tasting oil so that the flavor of the oil does not overpower the other flavors.
Sugar: I used cane sugar, but you could use another kind of sweetener. The flavor will vary depending on what kind of sweetener you use.
Tangerine: Instead, you could use fresh orange juice. For a stronger citrus flavor, you could use 1/2 cup (or more) of the tangerine or orange juice.
