Serving

In a Gasaa (a big designed or plain Moroccan clay dish) or a big size plate, put your steamed couscous and make a big hole in the middle of it to fit your verity of vegetables, your tender meat and your flavorful sauce. For the extra sauce put it in small bowl and present it around your Gasaa or couscous dish for the people who like extra sauce with their couscous.

For us Moroccans the couscous dish is a must to be served with buttermilk, and we cook it mostly Friday afternoon where all the family gathered for a tasty traditional lunch
