About Couscous with melted butter and scallions

Couscous with melted butter and scallions is a flavorful dish rooted in North African cuisine, often enjoyed for its simplicity and versatility. The dish features fluffy couscous grains, which are made from crushed durum wheat semolina, paired with rich melted butter and the fresh, aromatic crunch of chopped scallions. Couscous is a good source of carbohydrates and provides small amounts of protein and fiber, making it an excellent base for energy. Butter adds a comforting richness, but should be enjoyed in moderation due to its saturated fat content. The scallions contribute vitamins such as vitamin C and antioxidants, adding a light, nutritious contrast to the dish. While this recipe can be high in calories depending on the butter quantity, it’s easily adaptable for lighter variations. Perfect as a side dish or a quick meal, couscous with melted butter and scallions is a delightful fusion of taste and tradition.
