Couscous

At a women's cooperative in AIT

Ben Haddou, we learned to make couscous.

 Start with flour and water. Mix by hand to a crumble type texture. Keep working it til crumbles are smaller. The seive out the big pieces. Keep working them down smaller.

With the material that came through the seive, seive again with a smaller size hole seive. What you end up with is couscous.

That has to be steamed and dried before it is used or packaged. The women make and package couscous, and a variety of cookies.

They also fed us lunch. It was tagine of meat and veggies with....couscous. Plus the cookies we helped to make.
