I recently bought Palestinian couscous from the Trade Aid shop. Haven't used it yet though.

After using the Israeli couscous, I prefer the other. I find the Israeli too much like tapioca pearls. I make a nice traditional buttery couscous from Morocco

I LOVE Israeli couscous. Such an amazing and versatile food! Just cook it like you would pasta. bring the water to the boil and put the cous cous in, then drain it once it's cooked. It only takes 5 mins or so :) I used to get mine from Bin Inn

Cafe in Mt Eden have Israeli Couscous on the menu but it is flavoured with what tastes like Soya sauce.Gives a lovely dark colour and enhances the flavour.Any ideas on how this may be done!

I toast Israeli couscous in a dry non-stick pan, then add it to boiling stock - 1 part couscous to 1-1/4 part liquid.Reduce the heat to lowest and simmer for 5-10 minutes, then set aside off the heat for a wee while (enough to finish cooking veg or whatever else you're making).I seldom use plain water for cooking this or regular couscous in, I will always add seasoning such as s&p, turmeric, stock cubes (if not using actual stock), a tablespoon or so olive oil, and fresh herbs from the garden. Depending on the accompanying dish, I would also add more seasoning like cumin, mixed spice, cayenne, chopped onion and garlic, soy sauce, palm sugar .

its not asta, your thinking of the tiny pasta thats oval and Im loving it at the moment made into a salad with sundried toms pesto feta cheese and chopped ham or bacon. Couscous you just pour boiling water over it and leave until its absorbed.I dont like the israli one either, I just get if from the help shop also like quenoa (keen-wah) as a salad too.
