Thanks! I do like couscous. A friend made home-made couscous back in
the 1990s. He used a window screen as part of the process. Here's a recipe that simply uses a sieve.

I like couscous also. It goes well with a meat and veggie meal to balance things out.

Keeping the couscous thread going:

I remember being fascinated when i discovered couscous cake recipes. Is it pasta? Is it vegetarian? No, it's DESSERT!

This recipe isn't dessert but it looks rather tasty:

Title: Couscous and Ricotta Cakes

That looks good to me too. I don't currently have any couscous but i'll
keep these recipes for reference when i do get some. Yesterday i made a
chili with no recipe using dry red beans, canned pork, tomato sauce, a
whole bunch of paprika, chiles de arbol, garlic, onion, cumin, oregano,
and potassium chloride. It turned out just right!

Here's another couscous recipe:
