– In a large pot (preferably a couscoussier or heavy pot), heat olive oil.
– Add onions, meat, and spices (ginger, turmeric, pepper, and salt). Brown for a few minutes.
– Add tomatoes and stir until they soften.
– Pour in enough water to cover the meat and add the tied herbs.
– Cover and simmer for about 45 minutes (until meat is nearly tender).
– Add chickpeas halfway through if you’re using pre-cooked ones.
2. Prepare the vegetables:
– Add harder vegetables first: carrots, turnips, cabbage.
– Simmer 10–15 minutes.
– Then add zucchinis, sweet potatoes, or pumpkin last (they cook faster).
– Let simmer until all veggies are tender but not mushy.
3. Prepare the couscous (steaming method):
– In a large bowl, mix couscous with a bit of salt and drizzle with 1–2 tbsp olive oil.
– Sprinkle a little water and rub grains between your hands to separate.
– Place couscous in the top of a steamer and steam for 15–20 minutes.
– Remove, sprinkle with a bit of salted water, fluff with a fork or hands.
– Repeat steaming/fluffing 2 more times for the best texture (total of 3 steamings).
👉 If you’re in a hurry, you can also use the instant couscous method (see below).
4. Final touch:
– Before serving, mix couscous with a bit of butter or smen for extra richness.
