Make no mistake...this is a dessert!The only similarity to Moroccan couscous would be that it cooks in it's own steam.And it does not come from the desert but from coconut-land in Brazil:Bahia where the "Baianas" sell all kinds of goodies from their trays on the streets in their traditional typical costumes of white lace since Brazil was still an Empire.It is a simple dish as most Brazillian dishes are,but it has a catch;this recipe calls for tapioca,and you should break the pearls a little but not too much...you don't want to end up with a bag of starch or the couscous will be too hard."No tabuleiro da Baiana tem..."
