Lemony Couscous Salad
Pane-Bistecca
Couscous is not known in Italy and Switzerland for very long and in Asia not at all! But such a lemony couscous salad fits wonderfully into the hot summer season! Fresh, refined with lemon juice, vegetables mixed in, it goes well with grilled food as well as fish.
Couscous or also Kuskus originates from North Africa. It is made from crushed durum wheat semolina, or from barley or millet. Couscous does not need to be cooked but steamed or soaked in broth. In North Africa, couscous is traditionally served in a large bowl, with meat and vegetables placed on top and the broth separately. For this you also do not need cutlery, but you take a piece of the bread to grab edibles. The broth is given individually with a spoon on the couscous.
