Couscous is a dish made from tiny granules of durum wheat and most of it is "instant" or quick-cooking.This is closely related to pasta, as durum wheat, ground into semolina flour, is the same type of wheat that is most commonly used for making pasta. It is traditionally served with meat or vegetable stew spooned over it. Couscous is a staple food throughout the North African cuisines of Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Mauritania, Libya and the Western Sahara, however is has become very popular in Malta in the last few years.
