Moghrabieh

November 25, 2009 by Celia @ Fig Jam and Lime Cordial

I’ve learnt two things tonight.

Firstly, moghrabieh, or Lebanese couscous, needs to be precooked before it’s added to a dish.  I boiled these little pearls for 20 minutes in salted water, before draining and adding them to the Römertopf curry I was preparing.   Even after the extended boiling, the moghrabieh wasn’t cooked through and as a result, kept their shape and texture beautifully over the following hour and a half in the oven.

Secondly, spice mixes from Pakistan are seriously hot.  But also very  delicious!

    Recipe Attribution

    David Lebovitz wrote one of the best articles I've read on recipe attribution, and if you're a blogger who posts recipes, it's well worth a look.

    In a nutshell, the ingredients of a recipe are not subject to copyright, but the text is, so always make sure you re-write the methodology in your own words, with any changes and modifications you've made. And always make sure to acknowledge the original source!
