Couscous (also known as seksu, seksu, or kuskus in Morocco, Algeria, and eastern Libya, and as kusksi in Tunisia, western Libya, Egypt, and Mauritania) is a traditional North African dish with Berber origins. It has been a staple meal for centuries and is commonly prepared daily in many households. Couscous is popular throughout most of North Africa (Morocco, Algeria, Mauritania, Tunisia, Libya), as well as in Sicily, Italy, and even France, where it is the second most popular dish.

Steps

  1. 1

    Start by making the broth: In a large pot, heat the olive oil and sauté the chicken and onion with all the spices.

  2. 2

    Add the tomato with its juice, 2 liters of water (about 8 1/2 cups), parsley and cilantro (tie them together with kitchen twine), the chicken bouillon cube, and the vegetables. Cover the pot and cook for 40 to 50 minutes.

  3. 3

    Fill the bottom of a couscous steamer with water and bring it to a boil. Fluff the couscous grains and place them in the steamer basket.

  4. 4

    Steam the couscous for 20 minutes, starting the timer when the steam first appears. Transfer the couscous to a large bowl.

  5. 5

    Drizzle with olive oil and fluff with a fork (use a fork at first to avoid burning your hands, then use your hands). Repeat this steaming and fluffing process two more times, steaming for about 20 minutes each time, for a total of about 60 minutes, until the couscous is ready.

  6. 6

    To prepare the couscous: Place the couscous in a bowl, sprinkle with about 2 cups (500 grams) of water and some salt, and let it absorb the water.

  7. 7

    To serve: On a large platter, place the couscous first, then arrange the vegetables (without the broth) and chicken on top. Serve the broth separately in a bowl or in individual bowls for each guest. Enjoy!
