Olive Couscous Salad (Moroccan for ZWT-9), Per Wikipedia The main Moroccan Berber dish most people are familiar with is couscous, a natl delicacy Couscous is a staple food of the No African cuisines of Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Mauritania & Libya Spices & Other Flavorings Many ingredients are home-grown like mint & olives from Meknes (a city in north Morocco) & lemons from Fez Common spices include coriander Common herbs include mint & parsley This recipe reflects the Moroccan cuisine in many ways It was found at kitchenconfidante com & described as: Wonderfully versatile, this salad works best if given time to soak in the flavors of the dressing If made the night before, by the following dy it will be perfectly chilled, flavorful & ready to pair w/your favorite dishes Enjoy!, I cannot begin explain how delicious this was! I made two rather significant changes:
When the hot couscous was sitting in the pot minding its own business, I added two left-over sliced venison kielbasa (change 1) And change 2 – served it warm Everything else was as stated, but it was SO good! That happened to be what kind of sausage we had, but any type of pre-cooked sausage would probably be good, as well It’s just too darn cold to make this into a chilled salad! thanks, Twissis – made for her football pool win 2014, I made this exactly as posted, and the result was a very flavorful and unique salad The dressing is really quite nice, and could probably work well on a green salad too I did not add the parmesan, however, and don’t think it needed it This made a great take-along-to-work lunch Made by a Tasty Tester for ZWT 9
