Description
- Middle Eastern couscous, also known as Israeli couscous, is a petite, pearl-shaped pasta made from durum wheat semolina flour. The word "couscous" derives from the Arabic word "kaskasa," meaning "to pound small." Middle Eastern couscous is used in a variety of dishes because of its sturdy, toothsome texture and how effectively it absorbs flavors.
- Couscous is made from durum wheat flour called semolina that is moistened and rolled into form and then coated in finely ground wheat flour.
- Traditional couscous is extremely labor-intensive to prepare and is usually steamed. The most prominent kind of couscous typically found in supermarkets today is the quick-cook type.
- Couscous can be eaten alone flavored or plain, warm or cold, or as part of a side dish. It is traditionally paired with meats and vegetables and served with a sauce. It provides a unique alternative to rice or pasta, due to its adaptability to a variety of flavor profiles.
