    Hi Ben,

    Around here it's an
    alternate to potatoes, rice or kasha, goes well with the Moroccan
    chicken I do from time to time.

    I got my recipe from a bike touring cookbook. I don't eat couscous
    often, but i know it is a convenient travel food. I read about it
    being used as travel food centuries ago by traders who traveled by
    camel in Africa.

    I put some, precooked, into our camper freezer to go with spicy Moroccan chicken for this trip. So far we've had 2 meals with it, 2 more
    available but the freezer still has a lot in it and we're on the back
    side. I used Israili couscous (a pearl shape, takes longer to cook)
    because I didn't have any Moroccan (finer granulation) on hand. I do
    now, but plan to use up the Israili first.


    A friend of mine made couscous from scratch. He used a window bug
    screen to shape the grains of pasta.

    Whatever works, as long as it's clean. (G)
