“Cuscuz” is a North African dish. It arrived in Brazil from Portugal and has changed significantly, becoming very different from the original dish. There are a lot of regional variations \u2013 using fish, poultry, pork and vegetables \u2013 served either as appetizers or as a main dish, accompanied with white rice.
The “cuscuz” should be cooked in a “couscous pan” (food steamer), but you can prepare it in a 2 litre ring shaped mold or in smaller pudding molds for individual servings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Preparation method<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Grease the ring shaped mold with corn oil and distribute inside the mold, on the bottom and sides, the tomatoes (cut into about 8 slices), the sliced hard-boiled eggs, the olives, green peas and canned sardine fillets, for decoration.<\/li>
  2. Finely chop the sweet peppers, the carrots, onions and garlic and saut\u00e9 them in oil until well soft.<\/li>
  3. Add the tomato pur\u00e9e, olives, sardines with their own oil, green peas and cook for 5 minutes.<\/li>
  4. Turn off the heat, add the already blended flours, the chopped parsley and the remaining hard-boiled eggs cubes.<\/li>
  5. Adjust salt and black pepper.<\/li>
  6. Carefully pour mixture into the mold and press down to compact.<\/li>
  7. Cover and cook in a bain-marie for about 45 minutes, until the mixture starts to pull away from the sides.<\/li>
  8. Unmold when still hot taking care not to spoil the decoration.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Variation: you can replace sardines with prawns and\/or sliced palm heart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
