A terracotta-colored, wide-rimmed platter containing a steaming portion of traditional Moroccan couscous is centered in the frame, situated in a kitchen environment in Fez, Morocco. The couscous, a bed of pale yellow granular semolina, is topped with a variety of cooked vegetables and legumes. Visible components include large, light yellow-green segments resembling cooked cabbage or artichoke hearts, bright orange cylindrical and cuboid pieces of carrots, smaller elongated green zucchini pieces, and oval-shaped yellow vegetables suggestive of potatoes or turnips. A cluster of cooked chickpeas or lentils is present near the center, alongside dark green leafy vegetables. Two dried red chili peppers are prominently placed, one near the center, adding a reddish accent. Steam visibly rises from the hot dish. In the dark background, a partial view of a dark metallic appliance with a circular knob is on the left, and a stainless steel pot with a ladle is on the right, indicating a food preparation area. No individuals are present.
