Unlike regular couscous, Berkoukes uses larger pasta-like grains that absorb the flavors of the stew while maintaining a pleasantly chewy texture. The dish is typically prepared with lamb, beef, or chicken, along with vegetables such as carrots, zucchini, turnips, and chickpeas. Aromatic spices like paprika, cumin, and cinnamon add depth and warmth to the broth.
Often served during family gatherings and special occasions, Berkoukes is a beloved comfort food that showcases the rich culinary traditions of Algeria.
