An ode to history, try this dish with a wine from the Iberian peninsula. If you're leaning red, stick with the lighter wine making styles of these varietals. They'll offer body and fruit that will stand up to the bold flavours of the Moroccan Spices. If you prefer a white, an off dry reisling is a safe bet.
Conversation Starters
Couscous originated in northern Africa some time after the 11th century, from what is today Algeria, Morocco and Tunisia. It's made from semolina, the flour produced from durum wheat.
Tempranillo comes from the Spanish word temprano, meaning 'early', as this variety is one of the first ready for harvest each year.
