I love this dish. I named it way back then after one of my favorite songs being

that couscous is Moroccan. Probably could have called it Casablanca Couscous

also........LOL

2 tblspns. olive oil (one for the saute and one for the finish)

3 shallots finely chopped

1 cup of diced eggplant or zucchini (both work well)

Saute over med. heat, stirring until tender but slightly firm and not wilted and

brown.

Add the water and bring to a boil, stir in the couscousand stir until blended.

Cover tightly, remove from the heat and let stand for 5 mins.

Add the other tblspn. olive oil and lemon juice, stir to blend gently as you

fluff with a fork.

Keep warm and it's ready to serve.

 

Note: I sometimes add nuts to the top before I serve.

 

Make sure you sit on huge velvet pillows to enjoy this with your legs crossed in

a room with the huge brass hookah in the corner and the beads hanging in the

doorway, don't forget the imcense.
