Couscous aux sept légumes

Morocco · Middle East and North Africa

Short description: This couscous is a steamed-grain dish topped with a vegetable-rich broth and a symbolic mix of seven vegetables.
Ingredients: Steamed semolina grains are served with broth, chickpeas, onions, tomatoes, and seven vegetables such as carrots, turnips, squash, zucchini, and cabbage.
Cultural note: Related couscous practices are shared across several culinary traditions, with steamed grains, broth, vegetables, and communal serving at the center.
Common misconception: The grains are steamed rather than boiled like pasta, which keeps them fluffy under the broth.
