What it is
Algeria's national ceremony: fine semolina couscous steamed three times over a broth of lamb, chickpeas and vegetables, with merguez and harissa fire — the Friday and wedding plate of the Maghreb's largest country. Ingredients: couscous semolina, lamb or chicken, chickpeas, carrots, zucchini, turnips, onions, tomatoes, smen (aged butter), cinnamon, harissa. Recipe: 1) Simmer meat, chickpeas and vegetables into a fragrant broth. 2) Steam the couscous over the pot in stages, rubbing grains with water and oil between. 3) Butter the grains; mound them. 4) Crown with meat and vegetables; broth and harissa alongside. Serve: communally, with lben (buttermilk) in the countryside. Flavor: delicate grain, rich broth, cinnamon warmth. History: couscous is Berber heritage a thousand years deep; Algeria's regional versions (with fish in Annaba, sweet seffa in the west) map the country. See also: Chorba, Makroud.
