Love Poured Over CousCous
Submitted by junglemonkey on June 17, 2009 - 8:21pmOur week has been stressful, so I took advantage of half a day off to do something I love: cook! The Pirate and I love the Moroccan version of tagine (a sort of "stewed stuff served over couscous" thing), but don't own a tagine (a large, flat clay dish with a high conical lid that captures the cooking steam and sends it to the outside of the dish, keeping the contents moist). Instead, we use a Dutch oven whose lid is studded with little nubs that serve much the same function, directing the steam and juices back down into the food.
