This wonderfully comforting couscous is based on a dish Sami’s
mother cooked for him when he was a child. All we did
was add a crust, similar to Iranian tadik, which is a famous rice
dish cooked in such a way that a crispy crust forms at the bottom of
the pot; this crunchy bit is everybody’s favourite. Good-quality stock
is important here. Serve with grilled fish skewers with hawayej and
parsley; turkey and courgette burgers with spring onion
and cumin; or just with salad as a light vegetarian meal.
