Dig the semolina with your spoon, you will discover a surprise!
Stuffed couscous is a sweet/salty dish made of absolutely delicious steamed semolina.xa0Its particularity?xa0the meat inside the cornmeal which comes like a surprise discovery when tasting it!xa0
Here is an elaborate version of couscous which is an ideal meal during special occasions.xa0In Morocco, this traditional dish is appreciated for its sweet and salty nature and the basis of semolina with a subtle and exquisite taste is hard to resist.
To prepare it, just make a classic cornmeal couscous, and at the same time cook the meat (chicken or beef) in a broth with concentrated spicy flavors where cinnamon is mixed with saffron and ginger.xa0When cooked, the meat is succulent and soaked in a creamy and fragrant sauce.
When presented, we get a better understanding of whence the name "seffa madfouna " came from which means " buried or hidden semolina " since we dig a hole in the heart of the couscous to hide the stuffing made up of sauce and meat.xa0As decoration, sugar and cinnamon powder.xa0We can also put raisins and almonds over the couscous, but it is an optional choice that depends on the tastes of each.
With family or friends, it's always fun to eat this dish and be surprised when reaching the meat buried inside.xa0Bon appétit!
