Sicilian Seafood Couscous

To watch the full documentary and download recipes, visit www.ciaprochef...
In Trapani, we discovered something the Arabs brought to Sicily when they occupied the island more than a thousand years ago. This is couscous. Pino Maggiore, chef and owner of the trattoria Cantina Siciliana in the heart of Trapani's old ghetto, shows us how it's done. Trapani couscous is quite different from the more familiar North African version but, like pasta, no matter where it's made, it starts with hard durum wheat called semola or semolina.

The way it is made the Sicilian couscous is very close to tunisian couscous / You have to know that even in North africa the couscous is different from a region to other .... the couscous is made from hole the territory from libya to atlantic border of
Morocco

I went on a cooking tour in Trapani and cooked with chef Pino in his kitchen after spending the morning at the fish market on the ocean with him. It was amazing and the couscous was FANTASTIC! I plan to go again once the Covid ban has been lifted.

Couscous in the CapBon region of Tunisia is spiced up raw the same way, but streams over broth

In south Morocco we have different ways of making Couscous....one of them is called " ifnozen" and it's made like this with a lot of olive oil and alfalfa leaves....but what makes this interesting is that its made with fish....something I never knew about even in the north where people eat lots of fish.

@@granda2126 you know that couscous was made by Muslims Berbers kairouan was is Sudan so I don't know where you learned your history and carthage was in 149-146 BC destroyed by romans and was made way before way before couscous was. couscous was said to originate from northern Moroccans berbers and northern Algerians berbers between the 11th and 13th era at the end of the zirad dynasty and the begin of the almohads caliphate people who say it was made during the numidians is not supported by anything its just a theory the same as people who say it came from Italy or Spain and plus the empire of numidians didn't even last for 2 centuries.
