Couscous is steamed semolina pearls served under a stew of seven vegetables (carrot, turnip, courgette, cabbage, pumpkin, chickpea, raisin) and lamb or chicken; the Friday family lunch across Morocco.
Couscous is the Berber base grain across North Africa, mentioned in 13th-century Andalusian cookbooks. The Marrakech version follows the canonical seven-vegetable formula and remains the Friday family meal in every Moroccan home. UNESCO inscribed couscous on its Intangible Cultural Heritage list in 2020.
