Hi Anita – I love the Bacon, mushroom and spinach combination – the dish almost looks like a risotto to me! But even better because it takes less time to cook and sounds more forgiving than rice! Thanks for sharing!

This looks like a very refined cuisine for me. Love to try it with the normal couscous cause that is all I could find here in Bangkok.

Anyway, the dish is really fabulous. Thanks for sharing

Yum! The pearl couscous reminds me of tapioca or sago so perhaps a version with coconut cream and mango might work?

It’s a shame the dessert version didn’t work out, since it looks very pretty. You can’t go wrong with bacon and mushrooms though – that sounds very tasty.

I do like the pearl couscous, especially with bacon, mushroom and spinach. It’s funny that it’s not couscous at all, but a type of pasta. I suppose calling it ‘couscous’ makes it sound more exotic.

Wow, I’ve never heard of using cous cous in a dessert dish before.

Interesting post and really nice presentations of your dishes.

I wondered how much like large pearl tapioca this is? Thought of it when I saw your dessert dish.

I have been making a lot of dishes with fregola- which is wonderful in savory dishes.
