Pearl cous cous with preserved lemon and almonds

A fresh, zesty side that does its part. Tender pearls of couscous are mixed with sweet currants, salty preserved lemon, toasted almonds, and a zesty olive oil dressing. Serve it warm alongside grilled meats or transform it into a salad with fresh herbs and greens. A trusty team player for whatever you’ve got on the menu. 

To Serve

Warm it up and serve alongside Persian lamb or Syrian chicken or add grilled halloumi with chopped herbs and salad leaves for a satisfying veggie main.

    Delicious and generous side

    The cous cous went very well with a number of the chicken dishes and bulked up the meals significantly!
