the number of ingredients in cous cous is crazy, but it is delicious
And what might your recipe be?
We buy the cous cous plain and add our own goodies, but I'm always looking for a good recipe.
i consult the recipes on the bag, then found two other morrocan style on line, then combined the ingredients from each that I like the most. Some are much simpler, but i like the ones with a lot of flavors going on. I really like how the grain cooks in 5 minutes by itself in hot water. There's no wrong way, just make sure it isn't dry.
I always include the tumeric, cumin, cinnamon, smidgeon of ground allspice, few others. I prefer cranberries for the dried fruit. go for it
Sounds a lot like what we've been doing for years. I was just wondering if you had a "special recipe" or "ancient family secret". We use it often exactly for the reason you mentioned. It cooks so quickly and if we're just tossing something together..............why wait for rice, eh?
If you like all those spices, or combinations similar, you might look for some Ras al Hanout, if you haven't already. It's a Moroccan spice blend, different companies versions taste slightly different. I think we got ours at a Safeway market. It's available from online vendors too. Makes for wonderful grilled chicken.
Thanks for sharing your ideas.
