About Amekfoul
Amekfoul is a Kabyle couscous preparation combining steamed vegetables with olive oil. Saleha's rendition uses barley semolina, giving this traditional Berber family of dishes a specifically named grain base.
Carrot, potato, green beans and peas join the couscous, with turnip optional. Olive oil coats the grains and vegetables, while salt and pepper provide the published seasoning.
The mixture is served hot, with hard-boiled eggs offered as an optional decoration. Lben, a fermented milk drink, accompanies the vegetable-and-grain dish at the table.
