Algerian Couscous
I learned how to make this in France from some Algerian friends. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

I am not sure if that is how you spell it! I saw the recipe in “The Great Book of Couscous” and they called it Karantika. This is popular in Algeria (and made in my house a few times per week). It is best served sliced with bread and a bit of harissa or on crackers. Baking time can be decreased to make a mushier version. A food processor is used to make sure you get a smooth combination of ingredients. Chick pea flour can be found in Indian Grocery Stores. It is called “Besan”.
I was looking for a recipe to round out my A to Z cookbook and this sounded good. From a website for missionaries to Africa. This was pretty good. It would also be good with some beans added, or served over some brown rice.
This is a popular dish among Zimbabweans. It’s very basic and is served often. You can use canned pumpkin, but you may need to adjust water to get the right texture. Prep time does not include cooking pumpkin. Posted for ZWT.
They use different greens in Africa but collard greens come the closest. Adapted from Recipes from countries around the world.
