2Couscous (Tunisia)
Although couscous is enjoyed across North Africa, Tunisia has developed its own distinctive version. Steamed semolina grains are served with slow-cooked vegetables, chickpeas, and either lamb, chicken, fish, or seafood, all flavored with harissa and fragrant spices.
The dish is both comforting and versatile, appearing at family celebrations, holidays, and everyday meals. Tunisian couscous often has a pleasantly spicy kick that distinguishes it from neighboring countries’ recipes.
