Couscous is an ancient multi-ethnic dish, complete and delicious, which with its centuries of history has become one of the most widespread dishes in the world today, alongside pasta and rice. Originally a local dish in North African countries, it later spread to Sicily and over time became a cosmopolitan dish. There are endless versions and recipes of couscous: starting from the more traditional ones paired with fish, meat, legumes, or vegetables, to the sweet ones with milk, dates or dried fruit, honey, and cinnamon.
