Source: Ochef.com Formatted by Chupa Babi: 03.09.08 Couscous dates from earliest times and is really another form of pasta, made by moistening hard durum wheat and rolling it in flour to form tiny pellets. An authentic Moroccan couscous takes about an hour to make and requires three steamings in a couscoussière. Happily for us, precooked couscous, the kind found in supermarkets, takes only about 5 minutes to prepare. (Make sure the couscous is marked " precooked. " Check the description on the package.) ----- ______________________________\ ____ Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Mobile.
