About Couscous
Amour de cuisine presents this chicken couscous as a traditional Algerian family preparation. The grain is moistened and steamed in stages above a pot of chicken and vegetables, then worked with butter.
Carrot, turnip, courgette, potato and chickpeas accompany the chicken. Onion, preserved tomato, paprika, ras el hanout and chillies flavour the broth beneath the steaming grain.
The finished couscous is arranged on a serving dish with vegetables and chickpeas around it and chicken in the middle. Broth moistens the grain, and the assembled dish is served hot.
