Wholemeal Couscous is a grain-like pasta made from semolina wheat that makes for a popular side dish. It gained its popularity probably because it is very quick to prepare, as it takes no more than 15 minutes. Therefore, it is the perfect choice for those hectic days, when you do not have much time for cooking. Just pour it into boiling water, let it sit for a while, and your side dish is ready to be served. On top of that, it has a great nutritional profile as it boasts a high fibre content, which is beneficial for healthy digestion. Moreover, it is also a wonderful source of protein and complex carbohydrates. This makes it an easy choice in case you want to enrich your dishes with valuable nutrients.
As you probably know, couscous is very tasty and is a great way to freshen up the selection of traditional side dishes such as potatoes, rice or classic types of pasta. However, it is also great for making salads, sauces or soups. Feel free to also combine it with legumes or to make risotto instead of using the classic rice. That said, the fans of sweet dishes can use this pasta to make the popular couscous cake. But in case you are not much into baking, it also tastes great in combination with sweet syrup, fruit, cream, or nuts.
