tunisian-pkaila-with-couscous

This is my vegan take on my Tunisian grandma’s pkaïla – deep, dark, earthy, slow-cooked, and deeply comforting. She used to make the couscous by hand, unbelievably fluffy, and while I take a quicker route here, the flavors stay true. I added optional plant-based steak for extra protein and that classic meaty richness, but the dish stands beautifully without it. When my grandma tasted this and kept going back for more, I knew it was right.
