Mesfouf or masfouf (Arabic: مسفوف) is an Algerian and Tunisian dish which is a variant of couscous with finely rolled semolina and butter or olive oil.According to them, it is advisable to drink it with some whey or yoghurt to facilitate digestion even though it is lighter than couscous.Sfaxians prefer it decorated with almond and dates and dried fruits (pistachios, hazel nuts) and custard.[1] Some people also like to pour milk on the mesfouf and add sugar to it to make it sweet, as a "cereal", and some dried grapes and/or dates.As for the Djerbian version of the mesfouf, it is spicy and it is often composed of peppers and dried meat and various herbs (garlic, fennel, lavender...)
