Moroccan Couscous with Meat and Seven Vegetables

This outstanding recipe for classic Casablanca-style couscous features steamed couscous piled high with stewed meat and vegetables. (You can omit the meat for a vegetarian couscous.) Feel free to vary the vegetables to your family's preferences, but try to include a full variety to achieve an authentically flavored sauce. It's become increasingly popular in recent years to garnish this dish with a generous topping of tfaya, a caramelized onion and raisin mixture that can also adorn couscous all on its own.If you've never used a couscoussier, a traditional steamer used to make couscous, it is not difficult to learn ​how to use. Just be prepared to steam the couscous three times, about 15 minutes each. If you choose to use chicken as the meat, an organic, free-range bird works best due to the long cooking time.
