Couscous is coarse semolina which is moistened with water, rolled in flour and left to dry in the sun (in its traditional preparation), then sifted and stored. It is used as a side dish for various meats (just like rice), for grilled vegetables and fish and as a filling for vegetables such as tomatoes and peppers, etc.
It is added to meat soups (and other soups), legumes, salads (African tabouli is made with couscous instead of bulgur). With milk it is a nutritious breakfast, and when combined with sugar, dried fruits and nuts, rose water and butter it becomes a special dessert.
