Couscous with Tfaya

Community Feedback

Welcome to my table! A celebratory couscous dish topped with caramelized raisins and onions (Tfaya), often served with chicken or 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.
