Apricot Couscous with Preserved Lemons, the perfect side dish to go along with Chicken Tagine with Apricots and Prunes.
On my previous Moroccan Couscous recipe, I went over the history of Couscous. This time I just want to present you with a variation to it which will go perfectly with my Chicken Tagine with Prunes and Apricots recipe.
Also, the use of Preserved Lemons is a must in order to fully taste all those beautiful exotic flavors. I strongly encourage you to either make your own, order them from Amazon.com, or get them from a Middle Eastern market.
This will be my last post on Moroccan cuisine for now as summer is finally upon us and I would like to share some of my favorite salad recipes with you all.
I hope you enjoyed this Moroccan series as much as I enjoyed creating it for you.
Happy cooking!
