Maftoul or maftool ('hand-rolled') is a traditional Palestinian grain made from bulgur and whole wheat flour, and is like a larger or 'giant' couscous. In fact maftoul is often known as maftoul couscous. Women prepare it today just as their grandmothers have always done, working together to crack, hand-roll and dry the organic wheat in the Palestinian sun. Its firm texture and nutty flavour make it a delicious alternative to other grains.
Simmer 200g maftoul in 350ml stock until liquid is absorbed, or steam for 20 minutes. Makes a hearty base for salads or accompaniment to stews.
