Description
Cortas Moghrabieh brings the authentic taste of the Levant to your kitchen with these traditional Lebanese pearl couscous spheres. Crafted from high-quality semolina, these large, chewy grains are the heart of the classic Moghrabieh stew, typically prepared with tender chicken, chickpeas, and aromatic pearl onions seasoned with cinnamon and caraway. Beyond the traditional stew, these versatile pearls serve as an excellent base for vibrant Mediterranean salads or a unique alternative to pasta and rice in side dishes. Their ability to absorb rich broths while maintaining a satisfying 'al dente' texture makes them a favorite for festive family gatherings and hearty weeknight dinners alike.
