How to Make Moroccan Couscous Mmmmmm
In every Moroccan home, every Friday, a dish of couscous with vegetables is a must on the table. It's loved by both young and old, and it's a complete dish because it contains a lot of vegetables.
Cooking Instructions
- 1
Wash and peel all the vegetables, then cut them into large pieces.
- 2
Take the dry couscous and sprinkle it with water until it absorbs and the grains become moist, then set it aside.
- 3
In a large pot, chop the onions and add the chicken pieces and vegetables that take longer to cook, like carrots, turnips, and cabbage. Add the spices, oil, salt, a bunch of cilantro and parsley, and enough water. Cover the pot, preferably using a pressure cooker.
- 4
Once it boils well, add the remaining vegetables and cover again.
- 5
Now it's time for the couscous, but honestly, I'm not sure how to explain it, haha. The important thing is that the picture will clarify what's meant. This is the pot I used to steam the couscous. Fill it and place it where the steam comes out.
- 6
Or you can use this because it's widely available and known.
- 7
The couscous is steamed twice.
- 8
After the first steaming, place it in a large dish.
- 9
When it cools a bit, drizzle with olive oil and a little salt, and mix by hand.
- 10
Return it for a second steaming.
- 11
Once it's done steaming and the vegetables are cooked, there should be enough broth to pour over the couscous.
- 12
Take a large serving dish and place the couscous in it this way, then add the chicken and vegetables and pour the broth over it.
- 13
Like this.
- 14
Note: You can put the broth in a bowl on the table for anyone who wants more broth.

Sorry if anything wasn't clear. I'm trying to speak in a mixed language from our Eastern brothers because the Moroccan dialect is hard to understand. Also, my husband is Egyptian, may God protect him, and I learned good Egyptian from him, haha.

Hopefully, I didn't take too long. It's an easy dish to prepare, but writing the steps makes it seem long.

Rainbow Couscous Rainbow Couscous
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.
