Today I ran across a recipe calling for couscous. What in the world?! I never heard of the stuff. I have no idea what it is. I looked it up, and I still have no idea!
Don’t know how to pronounce it either.
It’s something in the pasta family, maybe? If so, then it’s not worthy of any further pursuit anyway.

Yes, it is in the pasta family it looks kinda like small broken pieces of egg noodles. Think the Emporers New Groove, his name is Cousco so if you know how that is prounonced you’ll be able to say Couscous. I hope this helps you! -shorty

It’s a tiny, and I mean tiny, versatile pasta originating from North Africa. What you would like the best about it is that it cooks in minutes. Both stove top and microwave methods take only two minutes. 1/4 c dried couscous yeilds about 3/4 c prepared.
It even makes a great cooked breakfast cereal. It’s cooked in apple juice with your favorite dried fruit, then served with your favorite fresh fruit, nuts or yogurt topping. Think I’ll go make some.
