This fluffy, quick-cooking semolina dish can be used so many ways. You can eat it with a stew, with vegetables, and even make it into a dessert by adding cinnamon, sugar and nuts.
Sometimes I don’t like my couscous super busy and complicated with too many vegetables or flavors mixed in. I’m happy with a recipe like this one, which is uncomplicated with just a few key ingredients.
I like this recipe so much that, before our markets run out of pomegranate, I think I will make it again and add the pomegranate instead of the dried fruit. Either way, this is the perfect side dish. It’s tasty as well as healthy and takes only a few minutes to prepare. Enjoy!
