Hello Everyone,
Im new to this site and was wondering if anyone could tell me some recipies i could make for my Algerian partner (i am English) He usually spends Eid in Algeria but cannot make it this year, so i would like to make a special effort to cook some traditional meals for him. Any tips would greatly appreciated. Many thanks and i hope everyone

Hello ~ M~

to A.COM

What traditional meals were you after ? Does your hubby prefer meat to chicken or rice to sauce.

I wish you to also a happy Eid.

Hello Houda,
Thanks for your reply. My husband prefers meat (lamb) so i was thinking of making lamb cous cous with sauce and vegetables as a main meal but it would be nice to make some smaller dishes as well. He loves to eat all foods really - chicken, meat, vegetables, he is not fussy, so any ideas you have would be great. Thanks, Mich

Well here’s the recipe for Lamb Cous posted by Amina :

{{ LAMB COUS COUS }}

I personally wouldn’t recommend making any side dishes with Cous Cous just make sure there is Harissa { red hot chilli pepper paste } and a side dish of sauce cooked with the meat and vegetables.
