Homemade couscous - 500g

This couscous comes from the Bizerte region, between the mountains and the sea, at the tip of Africa.

Thanks to less variable rainfall, this region has been growing cereals for centuries.

Seniatna has selected 8 artisans who prepare couscous exactly as they make it for their families, as they learned from their mothers and grandmothers...

Durum wheat semolina is lightly moistened and rolled by hand, then passed through a fine sieve, moistened again, rolled, and mixed with semolina. Sieved again, the grains are steamed and then slowly dried in the sun...

These loose grains do not stick together and this homemade semolina has a strong wheat flavor.

Cook with vegetables (zucchini, carrots, pumpkin), legumes (beans, chickpeas), and meat for a balanced meal. Nutritionally, couscous is lower in calories than bread and rich in selenium, a powerful antioxidant. Steaming is recommended, as in traditional Tunisian couscous makers.
