Couscous is a popular staple food in the Northern part of Nigeria as well as Northern African countries such as Morocco, Libya, Tunisia, Algeria e.t.c. It’s a light yellow dish of semolina granules made from durum wheat. Most times it’s served with stews or vegetables just like Fried rice. Since it’s really new to me, I only got to try it out recently. On the plus side, it’s really easy to prepare. Physically, it looks like round granules of Nigerian yellow garri and it tastes really good with tomato stew. To really enjoy it, try digging into it with your washed hand…..Yummy :D!
