couscous

Couscous ranks among grains and side dishes, which are valued for their excellent taste, nutritional value, quick preparation, and great versatility in the kitchen. This way, you can easily prepare breakfast, snacks, main courses, salads, and desserts with it. It is also naturally lactose-free, making it suitable for almost everyone.

How to cook couscous?

Couscous is one of the simplest side dishes to prepare, as it doesn’t require any complicated cooking. Just pour hot water over it (2 parts water to 1 part couscous) and wait for it to swell and soften. Afterwards, you can season it and serve it with meat or its plant-based alternatives, or incorporate it into other dishes.

How to use couscous in savoury recipes?

If you don’t feel like serving couscous as a standalone side dish, you can opt for various mixtures instead. It pairs well with chicken and vegetables, or you can mix it with chicken strips and pesto. It also blends nicely with tuna, zucchini, tofu, or another plant-based alternative. Less common but incredibly tasty are couscous cheese balls, which work perfectly fine as a savoury snack.

Couscous in a sweet version is a clear choice for all the lovers of sweets. You can use it to prepare a fantastic soufflé with apples and quark. But you also can’t go wrong with a combination of poppy seeds and raspberries. And, of course, you won’t be able to resist couscous with fresh fruit and fragrant cinnamon.

Couscous is an ingredient that has been gaining in popularity in recent years, and rightfully so. Surely, you’ll find many ways to incorporate it into your menu as well.
