Couscous is a festive dish, prepared with a delicate mix of cooked dry fruits, which symbolizes a sweet new year. It is often made during the “henna”, a traditional pre-wedding party. During the holidays, the couscous is usually accompanied by a special type of meat like lamb or veal. The natural sweetness of the dry fruits is enhanced by mixing cinnamon and ginger which results in a unique taste.
