🇹🇳 Tunisia recipe
Masfouf
Masfouf is Tunisia's beloved sweet couscous, a gentle, comforting dessert that showcases the versatility of the country's favorite grain. Fine couscous is steamed until fluffy, then tossed with butter, sugar, and a generous handful of nuts and dried fruits. It can be served warm for breakfast, as a light dessert, or as a sweet snack. During grape season, fresh grapes are folded through for a burst of juicy sweetness. Masfouf is simplicity at its most satisfying.
