Critical Success Points

  • Rub the semolina with oil before adding the water.
  • Brown the lamb pieces well to develop aromas.
  • Observe the successive steam times to obtain a light semolina.
  • Add the chickpeas at the end of cooking so they soak up flavor without falling apart.

Safety Warnings

  • Watch out for the very hot steam from the couscoussier.
  • Handle hot oil carefully to avoid splatters.
  • Use kitchen gloves when removing the dish from the oven.
