Couscous

Written By: Chris - Mar• 08•12

So what is Couscous one might ask? it s a coarsely ground pasta made from semolina, a type of wheat.

Thank goodness it is available in an instant form today, rather than the way it was made traditionally.  (from semolina flour; but rather than mixing the semolina with a prescribed amount of water and/or egg into a dough such as they do to make pasta, couscous is made by rubbing the semolina between moistened hands until the flour combines with just enough water to form hundreds of tiny grains herunterladen. This product has already been steamed and then dried again before it is packaged. It needs only to be soaked in boiling water until it swells, a process that takes about 10 minutes.)

Couscous doesn’t have a lot of flavor on its own, but it works well as a base for vegetable or meat dishes do not download whatsapp group media. It also mixes beautifully into salads and can be flavored with herbs like coriander, basil or mint, or even studded with fruit like raisins or apricots auslogics disk defrag deutsch herunterladen. It’s a very neutral and nutritious base for all sorts of dishes!
