Misko Couscous

Misko Couscous is a fine semolina pasta that brings quick, nutritious meals to your table. Loved in Greek and North African cuisines, couscous transforms simple ingredients into satisfying dishes. With its light texture and mild flavour, this 500g pack of whole wheat couscous fits seamlessly into balanced diets.

A Brief History of Couscous

Couscous originated in North Africa over a thousand years ago. Traditionally, families hand-rolled semolina granules and steamed them over stews. Over time, the method spread across the Mediterranean. Today, Misko Couscous honours that heritage by using modern milling and drying techniques, ensuring consistent quality while preserving the spirit of ancient recipes.

Nutritional Benefits

Incorporating Misko Couscous into your diet offers several health advantages:

• High Fibre Content: Supports a healthy digestive system.

• Complex Carbohydrates: Provides sustained energy for busy days.

• Plant-Based Protein: Complements legumes and vegetables in vegetarian meals.

• Low Fat: Ideal for heart-healthy and calorie-conscious diets.

• Vitamins & Minerals: Contains B vitamins, iron, and magnesium.

Because it is whole wheat, this couscous retains the wheat germ and bran. Consequently, you gain extra nutrients and fullness compared to refined grains.

Quick and Easy Preparation

Cooking Misko Couscous takes just minutes. First, bring water or stock to a boil. Then, remove from heat and stir in couscous. Cover the pan and let it sit for 5–7 minutes. Finally, fluff with a fork and serve. It’s that simple. Meanwhile, you can prepare sauces, vegetables, or proteins.

Versatile Serving Ideas

Couscous lends itself to creativity. For example:

• Mediterranean Salad: Toss with chopped tomatoes, cucumbers, olives, feta, and a lemon–olive oil dressing.

• Spiced Stew Base: Serve under a rich lamb or vegetable tagine for authentic North African flavour.

• Breakfast Porridge: Warm with milk, honey, cinnamon, and dried fruits for a hearty start.

• Stuffed Vegetables: Mix with herbs and spices, then fill peppers or courgettes before baking.

• Side Dish: Pair with grilled fish or chicken for a light, balanced meal.

Moreover, couscous absorbs flavours well. Therefore, it works in both sweet and savoury dishes.

Tips for Perfect Couscous

• Use Flavourful Liquid: Stock or broth adds depth.

• Add Herbs Early: Stir fresh parsley or mint into couscous while hot.

• Keep Fluffy: Always fork-fluff gently to separate grains.

• Season Accordingly: Taste and adjust salt, pepper, or spices after cooking.
