Steps

1 to 1 1/2 hours

1

Moisten the couscous well with water. Add some vegetable oil and salt to taste, and let it absorb the water. Place the couscous in a steamer basket (couscoussier) and steam for the first time. Repeat the process: transfer the couscous to a large bowl, moisten it again, and add a little more oil to keep the grains from sticking together. Let it absorb the water, then steam it a second time. If the couscous is still not fully cooked, you can repeat the process a third time.
2

Meanwhile, wash the vegetables well—the fava beans and peas. Steam them in the couscoussier until they are fully cooked and tender.
3

Mix the couscous with the cooked vegetables, drizzle with olive oil, and serve hot. You can enjoy it with buttermilk or yogurt, according to your taste. Enjoy!
