I love couscous. It goes well with any dish. Tonight is was mixed with Spiced Shrimp and sautéed zucchini. Before the shrimp was cooked, it was coated in a light summer spice blend of ground fennel, ground turmeric and Aleppo pepper. The result was a nice light flavor, balanced with tomato sauce and verjus rouge.
I had never heard of verjus rouge. It is the pressed juice of unripened grapes. It is used in a way similar to vinegar, but it had a gentler flavor and is a bit more "sweet-tart."
This dish was delicious and definitely one I will try again.
