Best Couscous in Casablanca

Couscous is the national dish of Morocco and a sacred weekly ritual in Casablanca. Traditionally served on Fridays after midday prayers, it consists of fine semolina grains steamed multiple times. The dish is topped with a rich stew of meat and a specific ensemble of seven vegetables. The secret to a great Casablanca couscous lies in the Tfaya, a sweet and savory garnish. It is traditionally eaten from a large communal platter with the right hand.
