I learned how to do the real, unique, wonderful couscous from my mother-in-law Magdi ‘and from the sky I am sure forgive me for having created a couscous today pretending, simple and fast …

And now … LIGHT HTE FIRES!

INGREDIENTS FOR 4 PEOPLE:

- 100-150g of cous cous per person

-4 zucchini

-5-6 Tablespoons of tomato

- Onion to taste

-Cumin to taste

-400g of minced turkey

-salt

-olioqb

-Garlic to taste

-A slice of bread soaked in milk

-Parsley to taste

-Parmesan to taste

WEAR THE APRON, WASH YOUR HANDS…. BEGIN!

- In a pan put oil, grated onion and tomato, after a few minutes, add the zucchini

-Prepare the meatballs with the ground to which you add the crumb of bread soaked and squeezed, parsley, little garlic, salt, parmesan cheese, a spoonful of sauce zucchini and a trifle of nutmeg, knead and form into balls that are going to fry in hot oil

-When cooked, place the meatballs in the pan of zucchini to season them and add a pinch of cumin

- And now we come to the preparation of couscous, most people follow the instructions written on the boxes, add hot water and it comes out something that has nothing to do with cous cous … good for mercy follow me : on a baking tray put the cous cous, add salt and a tad bit of oil and knead with a fork to avoid lumps

-Now you can add a tablespoon of hot water and you can begin to “rattle” the grits: they take a bit ‘in your hands in a circular motion and let it fall on the plate .. I take the other and so go on

Now you can cook the cous cous in a water bath, usually I put a thin towel in the colander and let it cook for about 20 minutes, taking care to become coarse with a fork … the flour should be well divided and not form lumps

-Assemble the dish by putting the flour topped with meatballs and zucchini

Et voila’…cous cous…pretending!
