The birthday couscous





Here's the couscous we had as my birthday lunch yesterday. I see (and ate) chicken, lamb, and sausages along with carrots, onions, turnips, green beans, zucchini, and eggplant in the wok.





And here it is on my plate where you can see the aforementioned ingredients as well as the couscous grain you eat them with.






One key ingredient is the sausage called une merguez, which is made with beef and lamb (no pork) and spices including paprika and cayenne pepper.

    2. Durum wheat isn’t grown here the UK, ….I keep a packet of couscous in the cupboard, but it’s been there a while! Roast or new potatoes are the carb of choice at home. 🚜.

  7. Goodness that looks tasty! I wish I could pop over for lunch and then I'd overstay my visa and never return. LOL.
