Making Couscous from Scratch

Here’s a great video from one of Jamie Oliver’s early television shows in which the British chef travelled to Italy to learn how to make some classic dishes.

In the video below Oliver is in Sicily learning how to cook couscous from scratch with the locals - a process the chef admits he’s never seen before in his life.

Couscous is one of those dishes we’re all used to just adding water to but here the chef joins up with a local to watch her make the couscous from semolina - a process most people unfortunately skip.

At the end they sit down for a wonderful Italian style dinner around the table - wonderful.
