I love that you can see your funhouse mirror type of reflection in the couscoussiere. What are you doing with your left hand - holding a light? Turning off a faucet? Shelling further fava beans?

I **love** that couscoussiere! What a great gift!
There is a bagel shop near me that has a breakfast couscous on their menu - I’ve never tried it but I think it’s served with milk and honey and maybe slivered almonds or something - it could be a fun breakfast or dessert to try if you ever get tired of making gorgeous, gorgeous stews, in, like, 5 years or something!

Yippee! I have a couscoussiere that I bought at a middle eastern market on a whim a year ago — not nearly as elegant as yours, which is a thing of beauty, you lucky girl! — but I’ve yet to use it. Now, no excuse! I must try this recipe.

Andrea — Isn’t that what I’m here for? ;-)

Carol — Maybe Keller will give you something similar to cook soon? I’m so jealous you get to see your mom on Mother’s Day. You’re a better daughter than I, obviously!

That chicken and couscous looks divine. I think I know what I’m going to make for mom on Sunday for Mother’s Day. I can almost SMELL it through your photos. Just gorgeous!

Mary — I LOVE harrisa. I just checked your site and found no recipe… would you be willing to share yours? I’d be tickled!

Toni — Of all the people I “know” that read this blog, I’m quite sure you’d be one of the happiest people to have a couscoussiere! Try a green almond whole. Make sure it’s a small one and quite tender. It’s a singular experience.

Anne — Thanks! I love the present too. It’s wonderful!

Happy (Belated) Birthday! I love your present and love what you made even more. Spring is in the air and in the pot!

Oh Ann…..Now I know that I absolutely MUST have a couscousiere!! I adore North African/Middle Eastern food, and your description of this made my mouth seriously water. Besides — it’s beautiful!!!

Never tried the green almonds in their shells. I’ve seen them growing, but it didn’t occur to me that you could eat the outside!

As for fava beans, I get them at the local farmer’s market. I know what you mean about the shelling. Bring on the sous chefs!!!
