About Couscous de Mil
Slow Food’s Mali booklet presents couscous au lait among traditional foods associated with Peulh and Kel Tamasheq communities. This version selects fresh milk from its fresh-or-curdled choice, paired with couscous made from petit-mil flour.
The millet supplies the cereal character, with milk providing the dairy element. Water is the only other ingredient named in the preparation; the source does not prescribe added sugar or seasoning for this version.
The moistened flour forms granules that are steamed, broken apart and allowed to cool before milk is poured over them. The finished presentation combines those grains with the milk.
