| | Southern couscous (Cuscuz paulista) is a steamed cake made from corn flour, vegetables, spices, chicken, or fish (prawns and sardines). | | | A versatile dish, couscous can be mixed with vegetables, legumes, meat, or fish, or it can be eaten only with butter or fresh fruit. | | | Couscous is cooked in a special pot (a couscous steamer), usually earthen, which has two components: a bottom-perforated deep pan, which contains the grain, and a globular pot over which stands the pan which contains water or a boiling stew whose steam cooks the granules. |

| | Talk:Couscous - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Couscous is steamed semolina (ground durum wheat which is coarser than regular wheat flour). | | | It sounds like these semolinas are different, it makes sense that you have to roll and sieve the semolina if it's a fine-ground flour, but not if it's wheat ground to particles which can be nearly a millimeter in diameter (as semolina says). | | | Others call it "semolina flour", and talk of making couscous from it. |
