Roque Cuscuzeira de Aluminio 3litre

Product Information

Mamá swears the binde yields better tasting cuscuz. As I’ve mentioned, I haven’t used my cuscuzeira yet to make the comparison, but I’m taking Mamá’s word for it! A very large bowl. I’m not exaggerating, a 30-inch steel mixing bowl is ideal. You’ll be mixing a lot of flour with your hands so it’s gonna get messy. If you think you’re gonna be making cuscus regularly, invest in a large steel mixing bowl. I store mine in my basement when it’s not being used, since it won’t fit in any of my cabinets. Now that you know how to make couscous, just let your creativity speak louder and test new ingredients of your choice to put in the filling! Tell us! J Pastel or empanada crimper: As you see, it comes in different sizes. It can be substituted by a fork tocrimp the edge of thepastel or empanada. Couscous pot: it reminds me of a tamal steaming pot although much smaller. In Brazil, the plain couscous can be either sweet, like the recipe presented below or savory, eaten with butter, milk, meats, or beans. It can also used to make farofa. This is the smallest couscous pot that I found online in the U.S. It can make enough cuscuz de milho to serve 6 to 8, and will not have the exact same shape as the Brazilian one, but steam the cornmeal just the same way. You can also use a veggie steamer (2.75 Qt) instead.

Coffee filter: it is not so common nowadays anymore, although still used and appreciated by some coffee lovers because according to them, it leaves a hint of the various coffees filtered there. Disclaimer time! As you know, flower pots are not designed for cooking. I’ve been eating Cape Verdean cuscuz made in a flower pot my entire life, but I cannot attest to its safety. Some sources say that unglazed terra cotta is safe for eating, but I haven’t conducted any other research to confirm that. If you have concerns related to food safety, using a cuscuzeira is your best bet. List of Ingredients: Cinnamon is added to enhance the flavor. I use 1 tablespoon, some people use more and some don’t use any. Using the largest mixing bowl that you can find, combine the flour, cornmeal and tapioca starch using your hands. The mixture will feel very soft and silky. Take a few minutes to mix the ingredients thoroughly. Set ⅓ of a cup of this mixture aside. You’ll need it to make paste to seal the binde later.

In a medium bowl, mix the cornmeal with the salt; then add the water little by little, mixing well with your hands. Let rest for about 5 minutes. The flour should feel moist but not wet. You’ll know it’s moist enough when it holds together when you squeeze it in your fist. If the flour falls apart easily when you unclench your fist, it’s not moist enough. I have this crazy theory that slightly less water is needed when the air is humid, so in the summer I use 2 and ½ cups, but in the fall and winter months I use 3. Step 4: Add sugar and cinnamon Egg thread strainer: Please, see its use and substitution in one of our posts about Portuguese Egg Threads.

Gradually add the water and mix well until all ingredients are moist and mixture has a crumbly texture. Let it stand for 10 minutes. To sift the flour, I put the clay pot right in the steel bowl. Sifting the flour gets messy so I like to have something to catch it in. Use your mesh strainer to sift the mixture into the binde. Use your hands to rub the mixture against the mesh basket. You’ll need to apply a little pressure to press the moistened flour through the strainer basket. You’ll notice that the flour will start to accumulate on the underside of the basket. Tap your hand against the strainer to release the flour as it accumulates.

You’ll need to remove the paste from the seam and you don’t want to do this while the binde is still hot. Step 8: Release the cuscuz and serve This recipe calls for 2 and ½ to 3 cups of water. You can use cold or room temperature water. It doesn’t need to be freezing, right from the faucet is fine. Add the water to the flour mixture, just a little at a time, and continue to mix with your hands. Water is an important ingredient because it holds everything together. I use anywhere from 2 and ½ to 3 cups of water (added a little bit a time). I explain my theory on when to use 2 and ½ cups versus 3 cups in step 2.

The end result is sort of like a cornbread (I’m cringing as I say that because it tastes nothing like the cornbread that we eat in the US), but honestly that’s the closest thing I can compare it to. Feel free to come for me in the comments if you can make a better comparison! As I mentioned, cuscuz can also be made with yucca flour, but that’s an entirely different post for another day. This is your choice, but traditionally Cape Verdean cuscuz is made in a binde (clay pot). In Cape Verde, the binde has more of a dome shape and has more than one hole in the bottom. In the U.S., I’ve only seen unglazed terra cotta flower pots used as bindes. This substitution likely came from the fact that the traditional Cape Verdean binde is not sold in the U.S. If you’re not up for the challenge of assembling a binde/metal can device, you can opt to use a cuscuzeira. Just keep in mind that a cuscuzeira is much smaller than the binde used in this recipe. I believe it’s roughly half the size, so you’ll need to scale the recipe down. After the binde has cooled down and you’ve taken the paste off, carefully remove the pot from the can and take off the foil and lid. Be careful! The water inside the pot is still hot! The binde is placed on top of a metal canister (usually a large emptied out metal can) that’s filled ⅓ of the way up with water. Paste made from the cuscus flour is used to seal the seam where the the binde meets the can. This seal keeps the steam in the binde.
