- 1 Couscous has become an international word known by so many people all over the globe. It is pronounced (KUSKUS).It is , in fact, a traditional Moroccan food .it dates back to the 13th century when the Arabs were occupying the Andalusia ,which is historically speaking , is the south of Spain now.
Now you can find couscous in North Africa and even in Europe and USA. It is served in many restaurants around the world.
Couscous is served cold or hot with meat, chicken and stew vegetables. Some areas in Morocco serve it with some kind of fish. It is served as a principal dish not a side one. - 2 The process of making couscous is intensive. It is made of Semolina which sprinkled with water and rolled with the hands and some dry floor.
Now we can find “couscous easy-made” in all the super markets but the beauty of this dish is to make it with your hands not to buy it ready to be warmed and served with vegetables.
