monde,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Berkoukes<\/strong>, also known as <em>Ayche<\/em> in Eastern Algeria, is a delicious traditional dish made with hand-rolled pasta grains called <em>\u201cpetits plombs\u201d<\/em> or small pearls couscous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This pasta soup is just as iconic as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amourdecuisine.fr\/en\/article-chorba-frik-algerian-lamb-and-freekeh-soup.html\">Chorba Frik<\/a> or Moroccan Harira, a comforting, flavour-packed stew that shines in autumn and winter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This hearty, nourishing meal is made even richer with a mix of <strong>fresh and dried vegetables<\/strong>, offering a perfect balance of textures and flavours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can prepare <strong>Berkoukes with chicken<\/strong>, as in today\u2019s recipe, or make the traditional version with <strong>\u201cgueddid\u201d<\/strong> (sun-dried meat), a true delicacy loved across Algeria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s one of those dishes I cook often, especially on chilly days, the kind of meal that warms both the home and the heart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignnone wp-image-91099 size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1059\"

ingredient contributes to the depth and comfort of this traditional Berkoukes. Here\u2019s what you\u2019ll need:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>2 to 3 chicken thighs (or other cuts) :&nbsp;<\/strong>Choose bone-in pieces for a richer broth. You can also use lamb or beef for a heartier variation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>1 large onion :&nbsp;<\/strong>Finely grated or chopped to form the aromatic base of the stew.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>2 garlic cloves :&nbsp;<\/strong>Crushed or grated for a mild yet fragrant touch that complements the tomato sauce.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>A handful of chickpeas, soaked overnight :&nbsp;<\/strong>These add texture, protein, and body. Soaking them softens the legumes and reduces cooking time.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>1 carrot, diced :&nbsp;<\/strong>Adds natural sweetness and a bright colour contrast to the tomato base.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>1 zucchini, diced :&nbsp;<\/strong>Softens beautifully during cooking. You can substitute or combine it with <strong>turnips, potatoes, or pumpkin<\/strong> depending on the season.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>1\u00bd tablespoons of tomato paste :&nbsp;<\/strong>The key to the stew\u2019s deep red colour and tangy flavour. Mix it with a splash of warm water before adding to the pot.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Paprika, black pepper, and salt :&nbsp;<\/strong>Classic North-African spices that bring balance and warmth. Add a pinch of <strong>cumin<\/strong> or <strong>ras el hanout<\/strong> for a more complex aroma.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>1\u00bd cups of Berkoukes (small pearl couscous) :&nbsp;<\/strong>These traditional hand-rolled grains thicken the sauce and give the dish its signature texture.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Dried basil (optional) :&nbsp;<\/strong>Brings a fresh, slightly sweet aroma that pairs beautifully with tomato.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>2 to 3 tablespoons of oil :&nbsp;<\/strong>Olive oil adds richness and depth, while sunflower or canola oil works for a lighter version.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignnone wp-image-54692 size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" src=\"https:\/\/www.amourdecuisine.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/berkoukes-aux-l\u00e9gumes-4.jpg\" alt=\"Plate of Algerian Berkoukes with vegetables and chicken in a rich red tomato sauce, garnished with dried herbs, served in a traditional black and red dish on a rustic table\" class=\"wp-image-54692\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.amourdecuisine.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/berkoukes-aux-l\u00e9gumes-4.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.amourdecuisine.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/berkoukes-aux-l\u00e9gumes-4-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.amourdecuisine.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/berkoukes-aux-l\u00e9gumes-4-640x426.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Algerian Pearl Couscous Stew with chicken and vegetables<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step-by-Step Preparation of the algerian berkoukes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Follow these clear, easy-to-follow steps to make your Berkoukes perfect every time:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Saut\u00e9 the chicken and onion<\/strong><br>Heat the oil in a large pot over low heat.

Cook for 1-2 minutes to release their flavour without browning.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Season and add vegetables<\/strong><br>Sprinkle with <strong>paprika, pepper, and salt<\/strong>, then add the <strong>diced carrot and zucchini<\/strong>. Stir well to coat everything with the seasoning. Let cook for 5 minutes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Add chickpeas and tomato paste<\/strong><br>Stir in the <strong>soaked chickpeas<\/strong> and <strong>tomato paste<\/strong>. Let it cook briefly to allow the tomato to caramelise and enrich the sauce.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Add water and simmer<\/strong><br>Pour in <strong>2 to 2.5 litres (8-10 cups)<\/strong> of hot water. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat. Cover partially and simmer until the chicken and vegetables are tender, about <strong>40-50 minutes<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Cook the Berkoukes grains<\/strong><br>Once the broth is flavorful and the chicken tender, add <strong>all the Berkoukes at once<\/strong>.<br>Cook over low heat for <strong>15-20 minutes<\/strong>, stirring often to prevent sticking. The sauce will naturally thicken as the grains absorb it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Adjust texture and seasoning<\/strong><br>Taste and adjust the seasoning. If the stew thickens too much, add a little more hot water until you get a creamy consistency.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Serve hot<\/strong><br>Serve immediately, topped with <strong>a drizzle of olive oil<\/strong> and <strong>a sprinkle of dried basil or parsley<\/strong>.

Can I precook the Berkoukes?<\/strong><br>No, cooking them directly in the sauce allows them to absorb flavour and stay tender. Precooking often leads to soggy or broken grains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2. Where can I buy Berkoukes?<\/strong><br>You can find them in <strong>Middle Eastern or North African grocery stores<\/strong>, in the <strong>international aisle<\/strong> of supermarkets, or online under \u201cpearl couscous\u201d or \u201chand-rolled couscous\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3. How can I prevent the grains from turning mushy?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Stir frequently while cooking.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Keep the heat low once boiling.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Add water gradually if the sauce thickens too much.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cook for <strong>no more than 20 minutes<\/strong> once the grains are added.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>4. How much should I use per person?<\/strong><br>Use about <strong>100-120 g (\u00be cup) of raw Berkoukes per person<\/strong> for a full meal, or 80 g (\u00bd cup) if it\u2019s a side dish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>5. Can I change the ingredients?<\/strong><br>Absolutely! You can switch the meat (chicken, lamb, beef) or go fully vegetarian. Add seasonal vegetables like pumpkin, potatoes, or green beans for variety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>6. How can I store and reheat leftovers?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>In the fridge:<\/strong> Up to 3 days in an airtight container.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>In the freezer:<\/strong> Up to 2 months.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>To reheat:<\/strong> Add a little warm water or broth to loosen the texture before reheating on low heat.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure
