Algerian Couscous

I’ve left the ingredient amounts flexible, so you can use about 2 pounds (1 kilogram) of couscous, or less, depending on what you have and how many people you’re serving. We usually use a 1-pound (500 grams) or 2-pound (1 kilogram) bag of couscous. For the meat, it’s best to use medium or large pieces, depending on your needs—whether it’s for a special occasion, guests, or just family. That’s why I haven’t specified exact amounts for this recipe.

Place the couscous in a steamer basket. Add 2 tablespoons of oil and cover well. Steam for about 15 minutes. Remove the couscous and add about 4 cups (960 ml) of water to the pot. Sprinkle 2 cups (480 ml) of water over the couscous in a large bowl, then return it to the steamer over the pot. Steam for 20 minutes over medium heat. Repeat the process, but this time add 1 tablespoon of butter and some ghee to the couscous.

Add 1 cup (240 ml) of water to the pot. When the meat is almost cooked, add all the vegetables (cut lengthwise) and cook until tender. Steam the couscous again for 10 minutes, then remove it and set aside. Let the vegetables cook for about 30 minutes, making sure they keep their shape.
