What other food goes well with couscous?
Make a simple chickpea (garbanzo) stew, with a few vaguely Moroccan spices thrown in (chilli, cumin, cinnamon etc). Really easy, nutritious, suitable for veggies, and tasty! Also, it’s a very traditional thing to serve with couscous. My kids like this too, so I’d imagine that it would go down well with most guests, even the more fussy ones! I’d probably make it by frying up some onion with some whole cumin seeds, adding a bit of garlic, chilli & a cinnamon stick after a few minutes, then continuing to fry til the onion is starting to brown. I’d then throw in a tin of tomatoes (or more if I’m making it for a large number of people) & a tin (or more) of chickpeas (or use dried chickpeas that have been soaked overnight & boiled until tender), and leave it to simmer for a while (timing isn’t really important, although it’ll probably taste better if it’s been cooked a bit longer as the flavours will blend together). Taste it after it’s been cooking for 10 mins or so & season with salt & pep
