Couscous with cheese and ham

1 serving

15 minutes

Couscous with cheese and ham is a simple yet exquisite dish of Moroccan cuisine that combines the tenderness of grains with the rich flavor of cheese and the spiciness of ham. Traditionally used in North Africa, couscous here transforms into a cozy and hearty dish filled with the aromas of oregano, basil, and olive oil. The cheese melts on the hot grains, enriching them with a creamy texture, while the ham adds a salty accent. This dish is perfect for a cozy home dinner or as a quick yet elegant treat for guests. It can serve as a main or side dish and easily adapts to tastes by adding fresh vegetables or sauces.
