Couscous
Couscous is a coarsely ground semolina pasta that is a staple in many North African countries. Couscous is traditionally served under a meat or vegetable stew. Commercially packaged couscous has been steamed and dried, so the addition of boiling water or broth cooks the couscous almost immediately.
