Les Moulins Mahjoub Organic M'hamsa Couscous with Peppers

Les Moulins Mahjoub Organic M’hamsa Couscous is a certified-organic Tunisian couscous made from durum wheat semolina, olive oil, water, and sea salt. Hand-rolled and naturally sun-dried, it is a versatile foundation for roasted vegetables, savory stews, and Mediterranean-inspired meals.

Made by Hand, Dried in the Sun

Following traditional Berber methods, the semolina mixture is carefully worked through screens and shaped by hand into small grains. These grains are then spread out to dry naturally in the sun.

This patient preparation reflects a couscous-making tradition passed down through generations—a craft historically shared by women gathering to prepare large batches together. Les Moulins Mahjoub continues that tradition with M’hamsa made using traditional farming and preparation methods, without additives.

How to Serve M’hamsa Couscous

Prepare according to the package directions, then make it the starting point for your meal:

• With vegetables and chickpeas: Combine cooked couscous with roasted seasonal vegetables, chickpeas, fresh herbs, and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.
• Alongside a stew: Serve with a vegetable, chicken, or lamb stew, spooning some of the sauce over the couscous.
• With Tunisian pantry favorites: Pair with Les Moulins Mahjoub Testour Sauce, or add finely chopped preserved lemon and a little harissa to taste.
