Couscous originated in Morocco and is composed of tiny balls of dried semolina dough. A culinary ingredient appropriate for use as a meal on its own or to compliment a main dish. Including couscous in your diet provides several health benefits.
Couscous goes well with anything really. Try Lamb Brand couscous for fish and prepare a couscous salad as a side to some tasty fresh fish, perfect for the summer season.
Choose a nice tuna steak fish from your local fish hawker. Sprinkle with some mint, lemon juice, sea salt and pepper and cook on the grill or BBQ for a few minutes on each side. Boil some couscous as a side. Leave it plain or add some lemon juice, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, a drizzle of olive oil, basil leaves and rucola.
If you want a fishy dish to take to work or school then why not boil some couscous and add a can of tuna, olives, onions, capers, garlic, basil leaves and a dash of tomato paste for a real Mediterranean style lunch.
