Moroccan Couscous with Vegetables Recipe - cookingwithalia.com

[povertyincanada]

good luck with your show

[dontwantachannel7]

(cont'd) all different. It is a very regional dish. So, yes it can have potatoes, yes it can have pumpkin or butternut squash, and it most definitely does have sauce. I have also had it with caramelized onions and raisins. This video is specifically to help vegetarians who wanted more flavor when there is no meat- I think that is why she added the tomato paste (I've never had that before). Alia does know what she is doing and you can trust her recipes. (No, I don't know her)

[dontwantachannel7]

Actually, the truth is that Moroccan women are very particular and even prideful about their couscous. It is considered a "holy" food and making it on Friday, their day of worship, is extra special. For those of you who are not Moroccan and have never lived in Morocco, I want to encourage you to try this recipe and ignore all the argumentative comments from the Moroccan and North African women. I live in Morocco and have had Berber cous cous from two regions and Arab Moroccan cous cous it is

[tigermop]

I made this recipe. It was delicieux. Very good for digestion!

Made me fart a lot!

[caronteone]

Great! I was looking for this recipe! My grandmother was born and grew up in Tunisie, and cous cous was a frequent presence in our home. Finally I've found a recipe very similar to my grandmother's. Cheers!

[kamalawhite]

Thankyou !! I made a couscous following your instructions and it was delicious !

[Chorongi]

Hey Aliah, but i usually ate couscous that had just yellow sauce. why is this red? traditionally , do you add tomato paste in this??? it hought it was yellow? or is it a variation?

[Chorongi]

you are the best Aliah

[rubberstarlet]

[mszeineb]

Seriously? derti l butternut squash bzzari3a?????!!

[waspalive]

I like the presentation on the plate too.

[sparklesophia]

thank you for the simple step by step directions and the western indications as not having Moroccan pots, products, etc available has made it difficult to make couscous. And couscous in Morocco always seem to pop up all ready and made so I never learned how to make it! merci beaucoup

[jaleanat]

These is some thing else but not Moroccan couscous

[Moasrrar]

[manar924]

Her cousous is good. Everyone makes it different. Each city has their own way of making it, and it may vary from family to family also......Keep cooking Alia!!

[HattieLovesCattie]

[kemohakemo]

your recipe is nice but in couscous no cumin instead of it ginger and no garlic at all . and no chopped parsley and coriander we cook the whole bunch without chpping . thank you

[egorger2008]

[kemohakemo]

Viva Morocco!

[cristinalinda1]

Il Procedimento per fare il sugo è ottimo, però manca la lavorazione, ela preparazione della semola, cosa molto importante, Saluti a tutti!!!!

[shadeofme12]

Alia, I was wondering if you can give us some new recipes from northern Africa, that involves fish? Also, can you add a music as background from my favourite artist, Angham? Thank you, and you completely rock!!

[cookingwithalia]

Hi,

I made few fish recipes already, check out my channel (shrimp pil-pil, moroccan sardines, fish essaouira style, baked fish with charmoula, etc.). For the music, I can not use any music unless I have the copy rights because I am a youtube parter, and they put advertisement in my channel. so any music I used, I have to have the copy rights of it.

hope this helps :-)

[khalid93o]

it looks delicios

[khalid93o]

good job look there is one website called video studio it make the videos looks fun u set up the zoom in and zoom out easy to use

[LaDy2rNeR]

WoW. Great recipe, I just made this a few hours ago and my husband loved it. Thank you Alia! I added beef (cubed) and 4-6 cups beef broth.

[MagaliDamnation]

Alia, does anybody help you make the videos? They are so perfect!

[cookingwithalia]

Thank you!!! the first few videos I had someone help me with the filming, but after that it was only me and my tripod! I edit my own videos using adobe premiere, great software! so it's a 1 woman show! you could tell that I am using on my tripod because there are no zoom ins and zoom outs when I am in front of the camera :-)

I am still learning couple of tricks with the software as I am doing more and more videos. so thank you for the your message it really encourages me :-)

cheers!

[EvelynGB]

Hi alia! We are going to try this couscous tonight! We will make the couscous in our couscous pot though. I tried the harcha and it was very good! We also tried your chicken with olives and we are still drooling about it! Thanks Alia! <3

[cookingwithalia]

so glad you liked all these recipes! if you have any requests let me know!

[EvelynGB]

Hi Alia! Well.... the coucscous was a disaster! LOL We never made it with sweet potato or squash before and it really feel apart quickly in the sauce and turned it into more of a stew. Out sweet potato cooked VERY quickly and hubby did not like the sweetness of it. We will make it vegitarian again but without the sweet potato. I love turnip in the sauce so we will replace it with that and white potato maybe.

[docrhon]

Thanks for your videos.  this one was especially helpful. I have been to Morocco and I love the food! I will use this video to help me make cous cous

[cookingwithalia]

couscous is one of my favorite dishes! you can make the non-vegetarian option by adding chicken or meat and doubling the spices.

The saffron powder I used can be replaced by Turmeric which is found more easily.

hope you enjoy the dish!

cheers

alia

[piereading]

couple chillie will do the trick

[geico1212]

why do you leave the vegetables all really big? wont it take longer to cook and harder for the flavour of the broth to distribute throughout the vegetables?

[youssefdoukkala]

except carrot all the other vegetables are very soft. so we have to cut big pieces, for the carrot that size makes a nice loolking for the presentation.

[julieannmercerross]

Just a clarification for n. americans about coriander: we call it cilantro. If you look for coriander in our grocery stores, they will send you to the dry spices! :)

[cookingwithalia]

Thank you Julie for the comment. You are right! I fixed it in the videos after that.

dont hesitate to let me know about other stuff, I really appreciate it.

happy holidays!!!

:-)

[nmassar]

you the best,i wish u can be my roomate

[cookingwithalia]

LOL! thank you for your nice comment! I am almost like your roomate, you can watch the videos and make the recipes yourself :-)

let me know if you have any requests!

cheers :-)

[JAZZY1669]

hey i i just love the way you teach :) i have a request i allways like to try dishes from different cuntries theres this dish i tried once and i think its called Kofta it was meatballs with something hha dont rememba really well so yh i was wondering if you could make a video about that if its not a problem of course thank you xx

[cookingwithalia]

I am glad you like it! yeah, Kofta is ground meat with spices, it can be in a tajine with tomato sauce and eggs, or it is barbequed. I already made a video, let me know if this is what you are looking for under the name of "tajine of kefta with eggs" (was not able to copy the link and poste the comment) - you can find it in my channel.

cheers!!!

[redouane73]

barak allaho fiik

[mariamlelue]

wow thank you so much :D

can u tell me how different is the preparation with meat ?

I want to try this couscous soon and I have been searching recipes

I bought some couscous already

thank you in advance

[cookingwithalia]

Hi Mariam,

I made this couscous vegetarian as it was a request from a viewer, but you can absolutely add meat. You can add lamb meat or chicken drums. Add the meat in the beginning with the onions and let it cook for a bit while you are stirring. You will have to double the amount of spices (to your taste of course). Hope this helps!

cheers

[mariamlelue]

thank you soooo much :D

Bless you!

[cookingwithalia]

Hi. I just want to make clear that my videos are targeting Moroccans and non-Moroccans who live outside of morocco and do not have access to all the tools and ingredients that we find in Morocco. Also, I am simplifying the recipes because life can be extremely busy for some of us with careers and we dont have the luxury of time. so I hope that before you put a negative comment out there, you understand the purpose of my videos. Et Vive la diversite!!!

cheers :-)

Alia

[younes456]

je suis désolé mais c'est vraiment degueulasse !!!

s'il vous plait arrêtez de massacrer la cuisine maroocaine.

[eraoul]

I tried it and it was delicious! Not a massacre at all!

[severmax]

that not perfectly prepared and coocked

we dont use concentrat tomates

[Nancydah]

Beautiful and Perfect! I love this video!

[ytsam2007]

Thanks Alia for all you videos. The recipes are awesome and easy to prepare. By the way, your web site is great too; lot of interesting stuff.

Choukrane!

[cookingwithalia]

I am glad you enjoyed them!!! let me know if you have any Moroccan recipes requests! by the way my cat looked exactly like your profile picture when she was a baby. too bad they grow fast :-(

[KillYourTV86]

I love your accent! Great recipe as well. I can't wait to try it out.

[casabike]

ramadan mobarak all

[ilovetocook48]

Hi Alia,

can I also add meat to this recipe? Can I use chicken drumsticks? Would I add them with the onions? Thanks a lot, your videos are great!!! :-) Greetings

[cookingwithalia]

Absolutely!

You can add lamb meat or chicken drums. Add them in the beginning with the onions and let them cook for bit while you are stirring constantly. You might have to add the spices a little bit (taste and see), but the meat will be boiled with the vegetables and will get all the flavors. hope this helps!

[ilovetocook48]

Thank you very much! :)

[cookingwithalia]

I actually got an email from a viewer. She added chicken to the couscous and doubled all the spices. she said it was yummy :-)

[apianos222]

bravo alia j'aime ta méthode très simple et magnifique et bonne continuation .

[cookingwithalia]

Merci pour toi et vive Errachidia!

J'espere que tu as vue les Ramadan Specials, you are going to like them :-)

cheers :-)

[eveta1980]

I made this couscous yesterday, and it was a big hit. Everyone thought that I ordered it from a Moroccan restaurant, they couldn't believe that I could make such an authentic Moroccan meal.

Thank you Alia
