#WFD – Fillet with Couscous

To serve, place the couscous on serving plates, slice the fillet thickly, and place on the couscous and serve with lemon wedges.

POLOKWANE – Couscous is a Maghrebi dish of small steamed balls of crushed durum wheat semolina that is traditionally served with a stew spooned on top.

Couscous is also a healthy alternative to grains such as rice.

What’s for Dinner suggests serving this meal with beef fillet instead of a traditional stew.
