I’ve read that couscous is often a Friday dish in Morocco. Is there a cultural or religious reason behind this tradition?

Yes, it’s a religious tradition tied to Friday prayers. Families often gather for couscous after the Friday prayer, making it a communal and symbolic meal.

Couscous on Fridays also symbolizes abundance and sharing. Many families will cook large portions to feed everyone, including neighbors or guests.

Friday is a holy day in Islam, and couscous has become a way to celebrate with family and friends after prayer.

In some regions, couscous is prepared with seven vegetables to bring good fortune and blessings to the family.
