Algerian grandmothers worked hard to develop this dish. In times of need, they would turn many natural foods into couscous by sifting and processing the ingredients. During the French colonial era, they even made couscous from acorns and carob, in addition to wheat and barley flour. This makes it a truly Algerian specialty, with dozens or even hundreds of secret recipes for preparing and cooking couscous, varying from region to region. Algerian women are known for their unique ability to cook couscous with all kinds of meats, vegetables, and even fruits.
