Ingredient appreciation — what makes Couscous special

What sets Couscous apart is the handling of argan oil. In lesser versions this is treated as a background note. Here it's central and the richly perfumed result shows it. I've started buying it to cook with at home after this experience.

Moroccan cuisine draws from Berber, Arab, Andalusian, and French influences. The a family couscous Friday atmosphere was right for this kind of food. I had orange blossom water drink as recommended and it matched well. If you want to understand what makes this cuisine distinctive, Couscous is the place to start.
