Mesfouf / Farka Recipe (مصفف) | Sweetened Couscous | South Africa | EatMee Recipes
Mesfouf also known as Farka is a Tunisian & Algerian breakfast consisting of sweetened steamed couscous.
⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️ CLICK FOR INGREDIENTS ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️
I know what you're thinking, how can couscous be sweetened because it is so often eaten as a savoury dish & added as a side to any meal. Well, let me just say that this breakfast is so yum that it can even be eaten as a dessert. If you didn't already know, couscous is actually semolina that has been rolled in flour & processed together, so yes it can be enjoyed as a sweet dish too.
If you havent tried Mesfouf / Farka as yet, I highly recommend giving it a try - even the kids are going to love it.
Note that if you add orange blossom water to this then it becomes a Moroccan dessert called Seffa - cool right!

Directions:
To make the Balboula:
1- Add your barley couscous to a bowl and top with loads of water, then wash thoroughly three times until the water remains mostly clear
2- Drain the couscous and add to a pot with the water. Bring to a boil, then add the olive oil, and turn the heat to medium
3- Cover with a lid and cook for 5-20 minutes. Once the liquid is absorbed, add in the milk, and cook for 10-15 minutes stirring frequently to prevent burning
4- Add the salt, then serve. Fill a bowl with the balboula, then top with olive oil, followed by honey or thyme
To make the Baghrir:
1- Add all the ingredients except the baking powder to a food processor or blender
2- Mix together well, scraping down the sides of the bowl, then mix for a minute until the mixture is frothy and bubbly
3- Add the baking powder then set the mixture aside for 30 minutes to rest
4- To cook, heat a pan on medium high heat, then pour in a few tablespoons of water
5- Swirl this around, then toss out, and pour in a ladle of the batter
6- Cook this without flipping over, until the top surface completely dries out
7- Stack, and allow to rest until softened
To make the Msemen:
1- Add the Semolina, Flour and salt together then mix briefly, before adding the water and mixing into a rough dough ball
2- Once a rough ball forms, knead by hand for 5 minutes, or in a stand mixer for 3 minutes, until the dough ball becomes smooth and not sticky to the touch
3- Oil a bowl, and add the dough, then set this aside to rest for as long as possible. The longer the rest the easier this is to stretch
4- Once rested, cut the dough into 6 equal pieces, and shape into a square about 15X25cm or 2-3mm thick
5- Use your hands to stretch the dough outwards and double it in size
6- Sprinkle the entire top surface with melted butter and then semolina
7- Fold 1/3rd of the dough towards the center, then apply butter and semolina again, before folding the other side
8- Repeat steps 6,7 this time folding the top, to fold the dough into a square
9- Allow to rest for 15-20 minutes, then stretch out to double it in size
10- Preheat a pan over high heat, then add the bread. Cook for 4 minutes, flipping every minute, until well browned allover
