Couscous Pudding with Candied Oranges

COUSCOUS PUDDING WITH CANDIED ORANGES

Couscous is a favourite at our home.  Also my little ones love it, so I make it often.  And I often have leftovers… actually, I confess… I make more on purpose to have leftovers.  I love making all kinds of salads with it (see my Couscous and Herb Salad and Couscous, Olive and Orange Salad) and…

Couscous, Olive and Orange Salad

COUSCOUS, OLIVE AND ORANGE SALAD

Ohhh I love couscous and I make it in all kinds of ways.  My all time favourite is my mum’s (and grandma’s) traditional Fish Couscous, but I also make the pre cooked version and serve it as a side dish.  And then there is leftover plain couscous.  Which is like a white canvas that can…

COUSCOUS AND HERB SALAD

Couscous is one of my favourite side dishes.  I love the fact that it is so versatile and that it can be easily turned into a light and healthy main dish for a weekday lunch.  I usually make couscous to go with my Lemon Chicken Tajine with Olives or my LambTajine with Quinces and I sometimes have…

Our April 2012 Daring Cooks hosts were David & Karen from Twenty-Fingered Cooking.

COUSCOUS SALAD

Couscous is one of those ingredients that I have always loved.  To tell you the truth I have discovered the pre-cooked version only in recent years.  My mom is from Trapani, a city in western Sicily that is renowned for the most delicious fish couscous on the planet.  I have grown up eating (and enjoying)…

Chicken Tagine with Lemon, Dates, and Apricots

I adore Moroccan food and tagines (also spelled tajines), and this Chicken Tagine with Lemon, Dates, and Apricots has quickly become a family favourite.

Roasted Pumpkin and Carrot Quinoa Salad

I only recently discovered quinoa and now I am hooked. I love all grains that can be used to make salads (I have plenty of couscous and maftoul recipes on the blog already!), so I already knew I would like quinoa. And I was not mistaken. I love its crunch and its slight bitterness, especially…

Warm Maftoul Salad with Roasted Vegetables

I love salads, but sometimes I feel like eating something warm instead. I had some pearl couscous (maftoul) in my pantry and when I looked through the vegetables that I had in my fridge I thought it may be a good idea to make a warm Maftoul salad with all of that. I must admit…
