Israeli couscous, also known as pearl couscous or ptitim, is a versatile and delicious grain product that originated in Israel. These larger, round pasta-like pearls have a slightly nutty flavor and a delightful texture. Its larger size makes it ideal for absorbing flavors and sauces, making it a great choice for salads, pilafs, and grain bowls. Enjoy it as a side dish, toss it with vegetables and herbs for a refreshing salad, or use it as a bed for roasted vegetables, grilled meats, or sautéed seafood.
