Description
This Algerian couscous is a family dish par excellence, rich in flavors and textures. I often prepare it for special occasions, because it is both convivial and comforting. Lamb, chicken and merguez go wonderfully with vegetables and fragrant spices. The secret lies in the slow and gentle cooking, which allows the aromas to develop fully. A true gustatory journey to the heart of Algeria, perfect for warming up autumn and winter evenings. Feel free to adjust the spices according to your preferences and add other seasonal vegetables!

Preparation of the couscous base
In the Thermomix bowl, put 1 good tablespoon of butter, the washed and cut pieces of lamb meat, 1 handful of chickpeas soaked the day before, 2.5 liters of water, 1/2 teaspoon of four spices, 1 teaspoon of pepper, 1/2 teaspoon of saffron powder, 1 teaspoon of ginger, salt, 1 teaspoon paprika, 1 teaspoon of tomato paste, 1 whole bunch of parsley previously washed, 1 whole bunch of coriander previously washed, 2 minced onions and 1 branch of celery cut into pieces. Close the bowl and cook for 20 Min./100°C/Stufe 1/Linkslauf.
Adding chicken and vegetables
Then add the pieces of chicken meat to the bowl and cook for 10 Min./100°C/Stufe 1/Linkslauf. Add the 2 carrots cut into rounds, the 2 turnips cut into pieces, the 200g of raisins and the tomato paste. Cook for 10 Min./100°C/Stufe 1/Linkslauf more. Add the 2 long zucchini cut into pieces and check the amount of water and salt. Let simmer quietly.
Final cooking of the vegetables
Cook for 10 Min./100°C/Stufe 1/Linkslauf more. Add the 2 long zucchini cut into pieces and check the amount of water and salt. Let simmer quietly.
Initial preparation of the couscous
Put the couscous in a colander and rinse quickly and drain. Put it in a large container to be able to work it easily. Add 2 tablespoons of oil and work with your hands and rub it. Continue until there are no more lumps and let it rest at room temperature for 10 min.
First steaming
Put 500 ml of water in the Thermomix bowl. Place the couscous in the Varoma and place it on the Thermomix. Steam for 15 Min./Varoma/Stufe 1 (wait until the steam escapes from the small holes).
First mixing and hydration of the couscous
Put back in the gasaa (large round dish) and work the couscous with a wooden spoon. Add the equivalent of a glass of water with salt to this couscous gradually, while working it at the beginning with the wooden spoon or with your hands if possible.
Second steaming
Let it rest a little and put 500 ml of water back into the Thermomix bowl. Place the couscous in the Varoma and place it on the Thermomix. Steam for 15 Min./Varoma/Stufe 1.
Second mixing and hydration of the couscous
Remove, and repeat the same operation with a glass of water. Continue to work your couscous delicately.
Third steaming
Let it rest and put 500 ml of water back into the Thermomix bowl. Place the couscous in the Varoma and place it on the Thermomix. Steam for 15 Min./Varoma/Stufe 1.
Finalization of the couscous
Work the couscous with two spoons of olive oil.
Service
Pour the couscous into a large dish and stir, add a little salted butter (or olive oil). In a tureen, present the broth with the chickpeas. In another dish, arrange the meats and vegetables.
