One summer, my husband and I took a trip to Morocco. After an adventurous day touring the Marrakech Shouk, we felt conspicuously out of place and were thankful to discover a kosher restaurant called Dar Ima. We ate a variety of delicious foods including Moroccan couscous with vegetables. After a long day of foreign sights and smells, this tasted just like home. When recreating the dish, I added chicken to turn the side dish into a meal. The chicken is first stewed with vegetables and then served on top of fluffy steamed couscous. The vegetables are cut into large pieces to prevent them from falling apart. The rich broth adds flavor as it is poured over the couscous and vegetables. Sahten!
