Is it rice? Is it quinoa? Is it a grain? Couscous confuses people everywhere. What exactly is it? Well, couscous is actually a form of pasta—it’s just made in very tiny granules! Although the makeup of couscous might be confusing, there’s no doubt that it’s a delicious side dish to many meals. Here are some of the best foods and dishes to pair with couscous!

Stew

One of the most classic pairings with couscous is stew. Any hearty, meaty, saucy dish mixed with some freshly cooked couscous is really soul food. The light and fluffy texture of the couscous mixed with the heavy meat and vegetables that were slowly roasted in a delicious sauce is a combo that is just so heavenly. 

Roasted Vegetables

Another incredible pairing with couscous is simply roasted veggies. Season them however you like and then serve atop a mound of couscous. All that’s left is to drizzle your favorite sauce or dressing on top and you have a five-star tasting meal!

Kebabs

There’s little that compares to the taste of meat grilled on skewers. Somehow, it just hits the spot every time. The best part? The smoky flavor of the kebabs from the grill is perfectly balanced when you pair it with a side of couscous.

Going on a sunny holiday in Spain may not be on the cards right now, but if you have a green thumb, you can bring the magic of the Mediterranean to your garden by choosing the right plants. Here are some tips for recreating the Mediterranean vibe in your own backyard.

Terracotta Pots

Fill your garden with lots of pots. Vary the size and fill them with succulents, plants, and herbs. Mediterranean parts work very well in teracotta pots.

Bright Colors

Mediterranean gardens are filled with bright oranges, reds, and yellows. Pelargoniums or poppies are great choices for adding vibrant colors to your garden.

Soft Edges

Mediterranean gardens typically have plants and herbs that spill out of the flower beds and onto the gravel. Oregano will pop up everywhere once you plant it and will soften up the edges of your lawn or patio.

Plant Lavender

The Mediterranean is a sensory culture that offers vibrant colors and aromatic smells. Plant lavender in your garden to create a relaxing atmosphere and tickle your senses.

Plant Olive Trees

You can’t get more Mediterranean than an olive tree. Olive trees are primed for the Mediterranean climate and create the feeling of being away from home. Plant an olive tree in a terracotta pot over summer to create a real Spanish feel.

Mediterranean recipes are quite famous for their many forms. They can usually be found in the form of a salad, a dip, or even a hearty dish. The main staple in Mediterranean culture is the bread and also an assortment of vegetables. Research shows that this type of diet is one of the healthiest in the world and can help delay the negative effects of diabetes.

Baba ghanoush is similar in texture to hummus, which is a chickpea-based dip. They both originate in the Middle East and they are satisfying and rich in tastes.

It’s Eggplant Based

While hummus is chickpea-based, Baba Ghanoush is mainly eggplant based. Its leaves a smoky and aromatic flavor in your mouth and it’s perfect to pair with vegetables and small side dishes. The cooked taste of the eggplant is best served with a neutral side dish like bread or fresh tomatoes for a balanced palette.

Sprinkle Some Pomegranate Seeds

Pomegranate seeds are great for providing a fresh taste to your grilled baba ghanoush. If you’re looking for a new dish to try – add this to your list. You won’t be disappointed.

Have you ever been in the position where you find out that you’re going to be hosting a dinner party in 2 hours, 1 hour, or even 30 minutes in advance? Then you know the stress that can come with it. Luckily, you can make this Mediterranean feast with time to spare.

Salad

This salad is fresh and simple – the perfect way to start a meal. All you have to do is finely diced tomatoes and cucumbers and put them in a bowl. You can also add red onion or bell peppers. Chop up fresh herbs like cilantro, dill, mint, or parsley if you have them, and then dress it really simply with olive oil and lemon juice and the first course is done!

Main Course

Start by putting some couscous into a bowl with a lid or a plate large enough to cover it. Mix in salt, paprika, and cumin, and then pour hot water over it and cover the mix for 10 minutes. Drain and rinse a can or more of chickpeas and roast them in the oven with the same spices or cook them on the stove.

Dessert

An easy hack to dessert is to simply serve regular vanilla ice cream, but dress it up by drizzling honey and chopped pistachios on top. This also works great with frozen yogurt if you have it!
