Winter Kitchen 10-Nov-2010

I am cooking a couscous,

Not the kind you find in the supermarket,

Spicy and juicy, only made by me

Carrots, turnips, cabbage,

Chop all the vegetables while they are fresh,

Onion, fennel, celery

Add something to make it spicy

Pour a can of tomatoes and some chickpeas.

A little ras el hanout mixed with meat.

I forget courgettes 

because I don't want to be stupid.

I forget the artichoke 

because heart is not there already 

There is no merguez because you forget what you promised.

There is no veal because the calves are too young to be slaughtered.

There will be no couscous royal because I am not your queen.

Cook it slowly because I am not in a hurry

Cook it slowly because there is only me
