DISCLAIMER: This is not a Lebanese recipe. I just happen to be out of noodles and all I have in my cupboard (that I can use as a substitute) is a bag of couscous made in Lebanon. After googling it, I learned that these pearly grains are called Maftoul. I cooked them like I would cook noodles but it took longer to get the desired al dente texture.
I had a late start cooking today and I don’t have time left to write down the recipe. I will post it soon, promise! In the meantime, you can take a look at the dark photos and imagine how delicious it is. I finished two small plates. =)
Update: The recipe is available at the bottom of the page!

Lebanese couscous reminds me a lot of Fregula, a pasta from Sardinia.

Hi Karen, did you like Fregula from Sardinia? Have you used it?

I do like it…actually I used the last of a bag for part of last night’s dinner. 🙂
