Divella Couscous

Couscous is steamed tiny balls made from durum wheat semolina, known around the world with its Mediterranean flavor. It has been a staple food traditionally served in North African cuisines yet recently became popular in European countries and other parts of the world.

A versatile grain with a cool nice ring on its name. It may be prepared as a side dish or as a main dish, served with vegetables, meat, or as preferred. On its own, it is one of the great rice alternatives.


How to Cook Couscous:

Pour 1/4 liter of water into a pot, add a tablespoon of oil and a teaspoon of salt.
Bring to boil then remove from heat once cooked.
Stir and pour 250 g coucous.
Allow swelling for 2 minutes.
Add 2 spoons of butter and heat again over very low heat.
Stir with a fork to separate the grains.
