Steps

  1. 1

    Sauté the onions in oil, then add the meat, spices, and chickpeas. Stir well, then add about 4 cups boiling water (about 1 liter). Cover the pot and cook for 15 minutes. Add the carrots and cabbage, and after 10 minutes, add the turnips and zucchini.

  2. 2

    Meanwhile, prepare the couscous. Sprinkle 2 cups cold water (about 480 ml) over the couscous while mixing. If using coarse semolina, pour in 1/4 cup olive oil (about 60 ml) without water.

  3. 3

    Once steam rises from the couscous pot, add the couscous to the steamer basket and let it steam for 15 minutes.

  4. 4

    Remove the steamer basket, fluff the couscous, and sprinkle with 2 cups cold water (about 480 ml), 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 tablespoon olive oil. Return the couscous to the steamer and steam for another 15 minutes (for couscous, usually two steamings are enough).

  5. 5

    To serve, place the couscous on a large platter, mix with clarified butter, then top with the meat and vegetables. Pour the meat and vegetable broth over the top.

  6. 6

    Serve with plain yogurt. Enjoy!
