Easy Pearl Couscous Salad
GET RECIPE: https://theplantbasedschool.com/israe...
Despite its English name, Israeli couscous – pearl couscous or Ptitim – is not a type of couscous but small pasta balls made with durum wheat semolina flour and water, similar to Sardinian fregola.
Its shape is reminiscent of Palestinian maftoul, Levantine moghrabieh, and North African Berkoukes.
You’ll love pearl couscous because it cooks quickly—about 7 minutes in boiling water or vegetable broth—and has a slightly chewy and satisfying texture.
