Sicilian Couscous

@sicilyaddict

Sicilian couscous is a unique dish that originates from nearby Africa, and its original recipe is worth preparing at least once in a lifetime. A symbol of conviviality par excellence, it holds a place of honor in Sicilian cuisine, and despite existing in various versions, the fish one is certainly the most typical. This is also due to the abundance of fish that this land offers.
