In our house, Israeli couscous has always gone by another name: “kiss kiss.” When my kids were little, that’s what they called it, and I thought it was so sweet that we just kept calling it that. Israeli couscous (also known as pearl couscous) may look like a grain, but it’s actually a type of tiny, toasted pasta with a nutty flavor and chewy bite. You’ll find it in plain or tri-color blends, and either works beautifully here.
