Pearled Couscous

Pearled Couscous is sometimes called maftoul. What never changes is its great taste and unique presence on a plate. Larger than traditional couscous but smaller than its closest pasta relative, pearled couscous is round and cooks up in minutes to a wonderfully chewy consistency. Serve it as a side dish, as a bed for grilled chicken or fish, or with feta cheese and toasted nuts.
