My thoughts:
I've been off couscous for close a decade. I've made pearl couscous a few times but the tiny couscous? No give thank you lot you. I've fifty-fifty avoided it inwards restaurants but really, that has to a greater extent than to practice amongst the fact that it oftentimes has other things, similar raisins,  inwards it that I would prefer non to eat.

Anyway, I've decided to halt this self-imposed embargo when inspecting a package of it at Aldi, I was reminded of how chop-chop it is to make, much quicker than pasta together with rice. So I've been experimenting with it again.

Moroccan flavors are the obvious choice for this form of couscous together with hence I pulled out my trusty outrage of ras el hanout (how awesome is it that McCormick makes it instantly together with you lot tin uncovering it inwards the regular supermarket?) which ever reminds me of Ra's al Ghul of DC Comic fame but isn't a supervillain but rather a mixture of a ton of aromatic spices together with is pop inwards Northern African cuisine. I justice chickpeas would convey been a natural pick but I'm a rebel together with went amongst ane of my onetime favorites, the Great Northern Bean but you lot could role chickpeas or cannellini beans if you lot wish. I used canned tomatoes amongst light-green chiles (i.e. Rotel, although I used a generic version) for unopen to flavor together with spice together with my onetime friend cauliflower. The upshot was a well-spiced side or fifty-fifty primary dish that was oddly tasty together with satisfying.
