Is couscous a grain?
Technically, it’s a pasta! Made from semolina flour (and often cooked in a spicy or mild broth in Morocco for extra flavor), couscous pairs beautifully with simple vegetables or grilled meat, like chicken or lamb.
Our buyer found this stunning platter when traveling in Morocco. A staple accompaniment to classic dishes like tagine, couscous can be found on most Moroccan tables. This platter—made by hand in one of Morocco’s centuries-old artisan traditions—is perfect for couscous, other pastas, rice and grains. The wide dish holds enough to feed a crowd, and the gently sloping sides keep couscous from spilling as you serve. And since terra cotta is oven-safe up to 350°F, reheating or keeping dishes warm is a snap. Each platter is finished with an intricate hand-drawn pattern (we love how the white pops against the terra cotta’s natural shade). As each piece is made by hand, some variation is expected from dish to dish and adds to its beauty.
