A kitchen staple in Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia, the Middle East and the Mediterranean region, Couscous is a national and celebratory dish in Morocco served under a meat or vegetable stew.

Couscous is the husked and crushed semolina (the hard part of the grain that resists milling). It is usually made with durum wheat. The traditional technique for couscous dish involved steaming the crushed couscous grain multiple times in a tall pot called a couscousière, fluffing it by hand till it was light and fluffy. However, commercially available couscous is usually steamed with flour and water and then dried and are instant and fast cooking couscous.
