CCC (Christmas Cous Cous)

A while back I promised pictures of my Christmas Cous Cous, and then forgot. Every Christmas we have a big lunch with all our Italian friends here in San Diego, they're like our surrogate family here. We always meet at a friend's place, and he's an executive chef, therefore there's no shortage of good food there, but we all try to chip in. It has become almost a tradition that my role is to prepare a cous cous for everybody, and since I don't really use recipes, every year it's different, and I always try to push it a bit further: last Christmas it was pretty darn good. The cooked veggies include a little bit of everything, and spices like Chili, Cumin and Cinnamon (look! another "CCC" combo!) and some more, with dried fruit (raisins, apricots and dates). The raw veggies include Tomatoes, Radishes, Olives and Onions.
