Couscous Fatma

Couscous is the last disk served in a formal Mahgrebine dinner and is always accompanied by a meat sauce, here made with chicken. Of course you can use couscous by itself garnished with the herbs and aromatics of your choice or, as here, with spices and fruit. For each cup of instant couscous, use 1 to ⅛ cups of water or broth. The swelling capability of the grains varies slightly with the brand used.
