Located in the North of Africa, Tunisia is known for many things and one of them is its use of the couscous in food. While most people would assume couscous to be eaten with savory lunch or dinner dishes the Tunisians love to eat it with their breakfast too.
Their secret is to mix it with spice and honey-infused boiled milk which gives it a delightful creamy comforting flavor. For an added nutritional layer they include some chopped dates and almonds too.
What you'll need
For a quick under 30 minute breakfast for two try Saffron Trail's Tunisian Breakfast Porridge recipe. This recipe is adaptable for stovetop or pressure cooking if you need a no-fuss breakfast.
Originating in West Africa these deep-fried dough balls rolled in sugar are enjoyed throughout the day. However, if you like a good sugar rush in the morning as the Cameroonians do then make yourself some Puff Puffs for breakfast today!
Although traditionally rolled only in sugar many versions mix sugar with spices such as cinnamon or nutmeg for a more aromatic taste.
