About Couscous pilaf
Couscous Pilaf is a flavorful and versatile dish originating from North African cuisine, commonly enjoyed across the Mediterranean and Middle East. Made with tiny semolina granules, couscous is steamed until light and fluffy, then combined with sautéed vegetables like onions, carrots, and peppers, often enriched with aromatic spices such as cumin, coriander, and turmeric. Many variations include nuts, dried fruits, or fresh herbs for added texture and flavor. Couscous Pilaf is a nutritious side or main dish, offering a source of complex carbohydrates for sustained energy. When prepared with whole wheat couscous, it delivers higher fiber content and essential nutrients. However, it can be calorie-dense depending on oils or butter used during cooking and any added toppings. Its adaptable nature allows for substitutions, like quinoa or cauliflower rice, for lighter and gluten-free alternatives that still capture its vibrant taste.
