This delicious recipe is our tribute to Paula Wolfert’s seminal book Couscous and Other Good Food from Morocco, the first major English-language Moroccan cookbook ever published. It introduced Americans to Moroccan staples we now take for granted, including preserved lemons and chermoula, a bright, herbal sauce traditionally served with fish.
