Belboula (Barley Couscous)
Welcome to my table! A rustic, earthy alternative to regular couscous made from barley grits, often served with vegetables and lamb. Rooted deeply in our Berber and Andalusian heritage, this is more than just a dish—it's a story told through spices. Trust me, you'll need plenty of crusty bread to soak up every last drop.
