Welcome to my blog about my experiences while living in Algeria!Mouled NeBoolLee Shareef - The Prophet’s Birthday
Today, is a Muslim holiday. It is thier Prophet Mohammed’s birthday. They celebrate with burning incense, fireworks, firecrackers, and lighting candles. We had a special dinner of Sha-Shoo-Hah. My absolute favorite Algerian meal. It is made with a special fried flatbread, torn into small pieces and served with a meat and tomatoe sauce. It probably is one of the most difficult dishes to prepare. The flatbread takes a lot of time, patience, and skill. Here are some photos of the sha-shoo-hah.

Hello Harmony !
Found this from http://www.journaltimes.com/ about couscous.
“You can push the parameters of couscous the same way you can push pasta,” says Paula Wolfert, author of “Couscous and Other Good Food From Morocco.” “The difference is the couscous grain. Pasta can’t compare with it in delicacy.”
I heard of Paula Wolfert by Chef Zadi.
I read once (don’t remember the link) that she gives lessons on how to “rouler le couscous” I mean not to cook it but make the grain with the “gassaa” “sayar” “refed” and all that traditional tools.
