A large, steaming serving of couscous, a traditional dish from Meknes, Morocco, is presented on a round blue ceramic plate. The plate is adorned with gold and light blue floral patterns around its rim. The granular couscous base is largely covered by a variety of cooked vegetables, including substantial pieces of orange carrots, yellow potato or squash, green zucchini, and scattered chickpeas. Centrally, a dark reddish-brown topping, consistent with caramelized onions and raisins (t'faya), is mounded, emitting visible steam. Darker pieces, potentially meat or other vegetables, are interspersed throughout the dish. The plate rests on a light-colored, speckled countertop surface. A human fingertip is visible in the lower-left foreground, partially obscuring the plate's edge.
