Couscous is a traditional spiced dish from Morocco with meat, boiled vegetables and legumes served over the semolina that gave the dish its name. Topped with extra virgin olive oi lfrom Spain before serving, this dish is becoming more and more popular in the Mediterranean Diet. Apart from being full of delicious flavors, it can be modified in many different ways, based on your tastes. But never forget the extra virgin olive oil from Spain! Remember, you can make this plant-based simply by removing the meat in the dish!

Recipe inspired by my Moroccan friends who have always had the most amazing way to prepare couscous... 🌍 I have them and my other Mediterranean friends to thank for discovering it. In the Nordics, couscous was a very rare treat to find (even impossible in some areas) back in the 80s-90s...! 😊This is my simplified version with vegetables, aka Rainbow Couscous :-) I like to serve it as a side dish with lamb, salmon or shrimp.

Make use of fresh Mediterranean produce in this recipe that will make a simple grain like couscous become packed with flavor thanks to the extra virgin olive oil from Spain in the vinaigrette.

Quick and simple salad from the Mediterranean.

this recipe is because Michelle. Miyazato started a tread about couscous and made me hungry

I got this recipe from Yotam Ottolenghis Jerusalem book in it the author says this recipe is his favorite. I love crunchy dishes and I had to make something quick for lunch. It turned out really good and both my children asked for Thirds!! I couldnt even reserve any left for my husband to try it later.

This is really such a versatile recipe. You can use any juice and any fruit you like. Quicker than porridge and just as filling!

November 1st is a WORLD VEGAN DAY… so I tried to make some food that isn't only for Vegetarians, but also healthy for everyone. This time I cooked "COUSCOUS SALAD". I got this recipe after searching information from many sources on the internet. Throw together a filling and fragrant couscous salad for a vegetarian lunchbox meal, or double it for a buffet.Very flavorful alternative to beans and rice. Vegetables and beans add texture and colour to couscous salad. This couscous salad has a spicy - sweet flavor that comes from the dressing.I'm sorry if there is anything that does not fit/wrong in this recipe ... and I'm ready to accept criticism and suggestions in order to improve my skill in cooking.

#losingweightThis recipe is by chef Ranveer Brar. I have tweaked it a bit. He had used fish . I used potatoes. Super delicious combination ready within minutes. Thank you Chef for the recipe.

I serve this under/along with my marinated fish. It makes a great side dish no matter how you serve it.

This couscous is a light side to be served anywhere Mediterranean, Morrocan, Israeli, etc. is served. You can use either Israeli or Moroccan couscous
