The traditional way to cook couscous involves multiple steamings and takes over an hour. Dry couscous available at most supermarkets is ready in about 10 minutes, and this recipe proves that it’s delicious too. Enjoy with grilled chicken or fish.
1 cup dry couscous (preferably whole wheat)
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon harissa paste
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 medium red onion, finely chopped
1 medium cucumber, finely chopped
6 medium tomatoes, finely chopped
1 bunch of fresh mint, finely chopped
1 bunch of fresh cilantro, finely chopped
1 bunch fresh flat-leaf, finely chopped
3 tablespoons olive oil
Zest and juice from 1 lemon
Sea salt to taste
Freshly ground black pepper

CM says: Looks delicious! The recipe calls for 6 tomatoes but that seems like a lot of tomato compared to what it looks like in the picture. Is that a correct amount?
Katherine-Oldways says: That is correct, but feel free to adjust based on your preferences! Enjoy!
Linda Wilson says: What’s on the skewers in the photo? It’s confusing to show a mystery ingredient without mentioning it, even as an optional part of the recipe.
I love this collection of recipes and African cultures.
Cynthia says: Hi Linda. The intro to the recipe (up next to the photo) says “enjoy with grilled chicken or fish.” Looks like chicken to me. So glad you like our recipes.
