Waiting for a cook
Morocco
Saykouk is the simplest thing in Moroccan cooking and one of the most loved: cold barley couscous (belboula) in a bowl, covered with cold lben, the tangy buttermilk left from churning butter, eaten with a spoon. It is the street drink-food of Marrakech and the summer countryside, sold from two jugs on the back of a bicycle for a few dirhams, and the way families finish a Friday couscous: the leftover grains go into the glass of lben. Sugar is optional and most people leave it out.
The draft was written from 2 published sources and holds 6 ingredients and 4 steps. It has never been cooked by anybody at AFN, which is why it is waiting.
