Tomatoes. Carrots. Turnips. Zucchini. Eggplant. Bell peppers. Haricots verts. Chickpeas. Onion. Okra. Lamb. Chicken. Grilled sausages. That's couscous, flavored with North African spices, a kind of curry powder. And served with couscous "grain" cooked with raisins. I made couscous and we had two meals of it (Thurs. and Sat.) while Jill and Peter were here.
Then Walt and I had couscous again on Tuesday. When Walt went to the butcher's shop to buy some more merguez (lamb + beef) sausages, there weren't any to be had. So he bought veal sausages spiced
with Basque country piment d'Espelette as well as a Spanish chorizo. Unconventional, but delicious.
That looks soooo delicious...!
ReplyDeleteOooh, I bet you had a great time having someone to cook with, and for, again!
ReplyDeleteThis looks fantastic! I wish we could get merguez here in the UK easily but alas not.
