Similar to couscous, maftoul consists of small pearls hand-rolled from whole-wheat bulgur and flour.
The women roll the flour-coated bulgur into coarse-textured pearls, which are steamed and sun-dried. The resulting “pasta” is slightly larger and firmer than couscous; it also has a depth of flavor that you can't get from store-bought couscous.
We test everything we sell. Here’s how we’d use this.
Following the package's cooking instructions, substitute maftoul for recipes that call for regular or pearl couscous; its natural nuttiness adds a toasty depth to the simplest of recipes. Or simply toss with butter or olive oil, shower with herbs and corase salt and serve as a simple side dish to soak up stews or lay beneath a roast chicken to catch the juices.
Canaan works with more than 2,000 artisan family farms across the Levant—a region that includes Syria, Lebanon and Palestine—to make traditional agriculture economically viable for small producers in a world dominated by industrial agriculture.
