Who doesn’t love a good couscous?! I always loved it and I discovered a few years ago the sweet and sour couscous with fried fruits.
It’s a dish that requires a small preparation a few different steps but it’s all worth it!! It’s delicious and it’s ideal when you have guests. It’s a very convivial and friendly dish that everyone seem to like!
