Couscous

Couscous is a small-grained Moroccan pasta (of millet? or semolina?), which when cooked has a texture somewhere between American grits and Italian risotto?. It can also refer to the overall dish made with the pasta served with a meat and vegetable stew. The dish is a staple throughout the Mediterranean and is served as foreign cuisine in many European countries.

Couscous is generally made by pouring the couscous powder into boiling water, adding some vegetable oil and stirring. After allowing some time to swell, the couscous is ready for consuption.
