Believe me, I know that 99% of the viewers here know what's up, and just watch for the food and my brilliant commentary. It's only that sad 1% who have no other kind of human interaction that get on here to act the fool.
I'm an arab and i can't stop laughing at the comments. OMG people, chill, it's just a recipe.... Leave Israel and Palestine alone (at least on a food video !)
Haha human nature bro! People will always need some sort of an external threat/injustice/imperfection to blame or fight against, whether real or imagined, every single day in their own empty lives...or else they cannot even survive themselves, psychologically speaking. So they make one another miserable as well. And the more empty and fearful and insecure a person feels at heart, the more he will judge and criticize and seek out greater and greater superiority/control over everyone and everything around him. This is the source of all human suffering and separation and conflicts. Everything comes in circles.
I am going to have to remember that line about cayenne, "I need to add it to survive." My husband has the most sensitive to heat pallet I have ever known and he asks every time why I am adding cayenne to food. He can't even taste the amounts added to the food, he still asks anyway. Keep up the great work!
This is so damn cool! I'm Israeli and I've been watching you for a long time! :) By the way there is another way to make this. Just cooked couscous and warm it up in the microwave with a little bit of butter then add some cottage cheese and enough milk to make it moist (or to drown it if you like it that way, plus it absorbs the milk) and you're ready for a treat :)
This is genius. I had Israeli couscous (or whatever the proper name is) at a French contemporary restaurant and I couldn't get over the texture you get compared to regular couscous. Looks great! I'd try goat cheese :)
Enough already! Why not bow to the awesomeness that IS chef John? I can feel my culinary nerves tingle every time you upload a new video, chef! How 'bout givin' us a piece of advice on making fish cajun style, for example blackened fish? I'd love to see your take on cajun food.
I rarely comment on TH-cam videos but I can't stay silent. Guys, it's food!!!! That's all! The stores call it Israeli Couscous and if you want to make this dish that's what you need to know. This is not a forum for the Arab/Israeli conflict. Get over it or move on or something! Let us enjoy the great videos that Chef John makes for us. Get a life!!!!! Sorry, carry on Chef John. I love your videos, including the apparently deadly caramel video you posted yesterday. More butter butte
Thank you Chef John for this truly wonderful recipe. I'm super picky when it comes to cheese and cheese dishes, but I LOVED this. I even made it for Thanksgiving, and all of my relatives told me I should be going to culinary school. Your recipe is A+
People, no need to defend me against the trolls. These trolls pay my bills. Leave them be. We just have to face the fact that some people are so blinded by hate or other mental defects that they can't even identify the most obvious of jokes. As long as "we" get it, it's all good in the foodwishes hood.
I'm Lebanese Christian and I approve this dish. Why? Because I know that this dish (which is also called Ptitim and is technically pasta) was originally made in Israel, so stop whining about how Israel "stole couscous". Do your homework.
Chef John, keep doing what you do. Not everyone is going to understand your sense of humor, but your long time subscribers do. Haters gonna hate and idiots gonna derp.
I tried something like this it a restaurant. Honestly the recipe tasted exactly what I had and its wonderful easy to make and it taste wonderful. Thank you for having this recipe and video up the steps were easy to do and understand.
Love the video, love israeli couscous, love Chef John, love Israelies, love Israel(never been to), love cooking, love my brothers and sisters all over the world. We are all one! But if the word Israel made someone unsubscribe, then I figure, good for Chef John!
Funny thing - I just cooked israli couscous for the first time yesterday. I cooked it with chicken stock and used it like rice to go with a pumpkin curry. I loved the texture ans will make it again. Love the look of this recipe
The Israeli Couscous also known as pearl couscous and in Hebrew it's called Ptitim is similar to Maftoul or Mograbieh. Everyone calm down its just couscous! delicious recipe, thanx!
"Israeli Couscous" is never called couscous in Israel. It's called "ptitim", which literally translates to "flakes". It was invented by Israeli food company Osem, as a replacement for rice, during the Period of Austerity, to the request of Prime Minister Ben Gurion. It is baked, unlike other pasta products, and comes in many different shapes- orzo like, little stars, this couscous like shape, etc. In Israel nowadays it is more of a students\little kids\people who really don't know how to cook food. You would never, never see it in a restaurant.
Oded Zimron Thank you for that tidbit of information! I’ve always been fascinated by not just food of other countries than America, but technique and kitchen tools. Fortunately, America is so full of different ethnicities, cultures and food, we are lucky! Chef John is a God-send , I always go to his website or here in TH-cam for recipes, ideas and techniques. Thank you again.
ok wow ok, so people, TO CLARIFY this RECIPE is NOT called Israeli couscous. Chef Jon is referring to the INGREDIENT, that,in North America, is labeled "Israeli Couscous". Its the same product as regular Couscous (originally from wherever you so adamantly claim it to be from - insert country here) and they are BOTH tiny pasta made from semolina. But whats labeled as "Israeli Couscous" is larger. Almost all dried pasta (see Italian dried pasta) is made from durum semolina. You may continue your hate parade
in israel we call those "Ptitim" i really like this dish, to people who ask what does it tastes like its very intresting taste i never tasted something like this before...
In Tunisia we don't call this type of 'pasta' couscous but 'mhames'. We make soup with it like chorba. Back in the days when my granny made the family couscous worth the coming year it was the 'seeds' that were too big to go in the couscous jar. Nostalgia
in Israel they call it teteem maybe it's more pc I don't know whatever to the argument cause this is fantastic luv you chief John you always deliver the best
DEAR HATERS: This is a cooking channel, so leave the hatred behind! You only expose your ugly faces when you do that, you crave to hate something, and if there wasn't Israel - you would hate something else. This isn't even a real hatred because no one of you have ever talked to a Palestinian or an Israeli. Don't let the politics trick you... we're all people. Dear chef John, I'm not a couscous fan but your videos are great and inspiring. I'll just make this with pasta instead :3
Granted a lot of food in Israel comes from surrounding countries, this couscous/pasta (Called ptitim in Israel) is really Israeli. It was invented by the Israeli government in the 50s when there was a shortage of rice
Since when did food become a topic of slander and hate? Food brings people together. All this guy is trying to do is show you how to make a tasty dish. Take your craziness somewhere else! It's not pleasant for anyone. I love the recipe chef John, I can't wait to try it.
Can someone explain to me what the problem is here? Chef John uploaded a video featuring a delicious recipe as always and it includes his wonderful commentary. Why all the offended and insult-spouting people? Sheesh!
There is no such thing as Israeli couscous. Nor such thing as Israeli cuisine. It's a pasta known as Aich Berkoukes in North Africa, and tabouli in the Middle East. It is Berber, as old as couscous, and was around for a thousand years before the Israelis claim to be their couscous in 1950. This pasta is to israel, like octopus salad is the Subsaharians
so..... you are wrong. i understand how that would happened since the translated name is not very good, but you are still wrong. israeli couscous is actually nothing like couscous. it is calles pteetim in hebrew, and it is a pasta, not couscous. the translation is just wrong, thats all. it is a dish that was invented in israel when there was a shortage in rice and the goverment asked Osem to make something else that looks similar. it originally looked like rice, now there are many shapes to this, its a pasta you can shape it whichever way you want.
Wow! I never imagined a food item could set off a political debate over the middle east. Can't we all just get along and stare together into the cheesy goodness?? I mean just look at it?! It looks so delicious!!
Does that come with a side of Palestinian children's tears? Infringement of international human rights? And undisclosed cases of rape and torture thrown in?
bumcheek7 look, stop being so wrong. The 51st US state is Puerto Rico, not Israel. All of US wars did not originate from Israel, stop lying. Some Israelites today come from the Khazars because the Khazars were formed from migrating Jews from the Levant in 70 AD. The Khazar kingdom was founded hundreds of years after the Jews left the Levant under the curses, so the timeline, and the locations, fit perfectly. Stop lying about the Jews and cease your BHI racist ways. And leave this discussion off of a cooking channel, we come here to watch Chef John cook delicious food and see how easy it is so we try it. We don't need this type of discussion here.
+degen83 Puerto Rico is not a state. It's not even next in line to gain statehood. New Columbia is probably a more likely candidate to be the 51st state than Puerto Rico is.
Wiki it, it's a type of pepper, not quite the same as a bell pepper but similar. There are also what are called 'pimento' preserves, these include pieces of pimento in the preserve, some times the spicing in the preserve is styled after pimentos too. :) (so pimento olives for instance, just have pimento bits stuffed into their cores where the pit was) But generally it refers to the actual pepper type, just like habaneros and jalapenos are peppers but not bell peppers. Hope that helps. :)
+Melanie Fyd please enlighten me more about the origins of my people and generalize all Palestinians as muslims while at it. if you truely think that land is the jews land because of fake history and basing your knowledge on the bible then you are more stupid than ignorant.
+Melanie Fyd They don't pronounce it like a B. Either you just made that up, or you weren't paying attention in your state-sanctioned hasbara training sessions :^)
well some of the audience needs a good talking to! These videos are free and he puts his time and his effort into making these videos and people go on to harp on little details! People just need to appreciate it not start a whole argument.
never had this before we always just eat rice not sure if they sell that here in puerto rico but id loveeee to try it i looks ahmazinggg & i lovee mac & cheese lol
judging people and saying that they are stupid doesn't make you any better than them !! and each person have the right to say his opinion as you can .. without attacking anyone !
The core of the Egypt underground army is shattered. How could Chef John, whom you've believed in so faithfully, how could he have misinterpreted your enemy's ethnic roots to create such wonderful dishes...
there are more than enough videos on that exact subject on youtube. why would you choose this video over them to debate this subject? the fact that there's Israel in the subject line is motivation enough?
Actually "Cuscus" is made of something called "Semolina", which is a finely sifted flour. What you used is called "Ptitim", which is actually just baked pasta - here it comes in many shapes - there are star shaped baked pasta, ring shape baked pasta, rice shaped baked pasta and "cuscus" shaped baked pasta which is what you used. So for the people that said they can't find it as "Israeli cuscus" - try to look for baked pasta - if you find the real "Israeli cuscus" (Semolina) it won't work!
Hi Chef John, thanks so much for making different and unique foods, not the usual 'copy and paste' that seems to be prevalent on TH-cam. I'll try this out someday :-) thanks again

May I introduce you to the first ever known recipe of Mac'n Cheese which resulted in a hateful political discussion
I'm pissing myself reading the comments. omg. But I digress. Looks delishioso. That's Italian for delicious (waits) hee hee
Ha!
I'm an arab and i can't stop laughing at the comments. OMG people, chill, it's just a recipe.... Leave Israel and Palestine alone (at least on a food video !)
I agree.
Haha human nature bro! People will always need some sort of an external threat/injustice/imperfection to blame or fight against, whether real or imagined, every single day in their own empty lives...or else they cannot even survive themselves, psychologically speaking. So they make one another miserable as well.
And the more empty and fearful and insecure a person feels at heart, the more he will judge and criticize and seek out greater and greater superiority/control over everyone and everything around him. This is the source of all human suffering and separation and conflicts. Everything comes in circles.
I am going to have to remember that line about cayenne, "I need to add it to survive." My husband has the most sensitive to heat pallet I have ever known and he asks every time why I am adding cayenne to food. He can't even taste the amounts added to the food, he still asks anyway. Keep up the great work!
How dare you! I'm VERY humble and modest! They're two things that make me even more awesome.
This is so damn cool! I'm Israeli and I've been watching you for a long time! :)
By the way there is another way to make this. Just cooked couscous and warm it up in the microwave with a little bit of butter then add some cottage cheese and enough milk to make it moist (or to drown it if you like it that way, plus it absorbs the milk) and you're ready for a treat :)
Ur from somewhere that doesn't exist scew u
I get paid like a rock star either way, so just be honest. ;)
That looks so good. Will have to try. I love both couscous and homemade Mac and cheese
This is genius. I had Israeli couscous (or whatever the proper name is) at a French contemporary restaurant and I couldn't get over the texture you get compared to regular couscous. Looks great! I'd try goat cheese :)
Enough already! Why not bow to the awesomeness that IS chef John? I can feel my culinary nerves tingle every time you upload a new video, chef! How 'bout givin' us a piece of advice on making fish cajun style, for example blackened fish? I'd love to see your take on cajun food.
I'm going to Isreal this summer. I'm going to try this. Cous cous is healthy and I love lot's of Cayenne pepper too! Shalom!😍

This recipe is also great with corn instead of the pimento... it adds another textural layer that I really enjoy
Thank you Chef John for this truly wonderful recipe. I'm super picky when it comes to cheese and cheese dishes, but I LOVED this. I even made it for Thanksgiving, and all of my relatives told me I should be going to culinary school. Your recipe is A+
Are people really debating politics on a mac and cheese video? You gotta be kidding me.
Emily Kolarich I'm guessing you don't debate politics on any video.
bmortloff well certainly not on a cooking video...
Emily Kolarich never underestimate the political zealots that infest TH-cam.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I tried something like this it a restaurant. Honestly the recipe tasted exactly what I had and its wonderful easy to make and it taste wonderful. Thank you for having this recipe and video up the steps were easy to do and understand.
I'm gonna get super--baked and chef this up. The ultimate stoner food!!
Well said. Just know that there are far more of us who actually appreciate you very much and love your recipes!
Every time I think I've seen all of your videos I find new ones
Hats off to you Sir....I am sure that question has been bugging countless TH-camrs...and finally now we have our answer!
Can there ever be a video with the word "Israel" in it that doesn't have a bunch of hateful comments on it? Shut up and enjoy this wonderful dish.
Love the video, love israeli couscous, love Chef John, love Israelies, love Israel(never been to), love cooking, love my brothers and sisters all over the world. We are all one! But if the word Israel made someone unsubscribe, then I figure, good for Chef John!

Our couscous is the same as the one you know
AHHH

Yes its ptitim. I work in israel for 5 years and i know what is dofference between couscous and ptitim.
@@itsmexiaolong7pro4590 weird flex but okay
& no disrespect to Chef John meant at all. I thoroughly enjoy his videos and look forward to them.
Inventive recipe! Thank you for sharing. I've added chopped steamed broccoli instead of pimentos and it was deee-lish!
My daughter and i look at your channel all the time!!! Maybe you should design your name!! YOU ARE THE KING OF COOKING!!
Mmmmmm! This looks sooooo good!
I must make some one of these days! Cheese and couscous are like two of the most awesome foods ever! :P

Totally different product, totally different taste.

in israel we call those "Ptitim" i really like this dish, to people who ask what does it tastes like its very intresting taste i never tasted something like this before...
Ive been eyeing couscous for about two weeks now ..never had it before,.i might try this recipie thouggh, looks awesome
How the hell did this become a debate over religion & race? - I thought this was a cooking channel?
Israeli food is amazing and a melting pot of international cuisines
We all need cayenne to survive *-* It's so goood xDD
I don't care what you people say, THIS LOOKS DELICIOUS AND I'M DROOLING!!

I've tried Isreali couscous before and I find it tastier than the smaller versions. Taste like beady pasta!
It's called ptitim in Israel or Ben Gurion's rice.
Since when did food become a topic of slander and hate? Food brings people together. All this guy is trying to do is show you how to make a tasty dish. Take your craziness somewhere else! It's not pleasant for anyone. I love the recipe chef John, I can't wait to try it.
Mac and cheese extremism!?!?
Maxtremism. With cheese.
Delicious! I used chopped cherry tomatoes instead of pimientos, gives it that ketchup on Mac and cheese taste.
I've always known this as "pearl couscous". Probably one of my least favorite pastas. Not a fan.
I really like this recipe, i tweaked it slightly by using mashed potatoes instead of couscous. turned out great!
Holy shit, I've never seen this many triggered muslims so far from Mosul
Can someone explain to me what the problem is here? Chef John uploaded a video featuring a delicious recipe as always and it includes his wonderful commentary. Why all the offended and insult-spouting people? Sheesh!

I am a huge fan of mac & cheese, & a huge fan of risotto!! I have to make this! it looks amazing!!!!
it has nothing to do with couscous. we call it 'ptitim' - like petite pasta. goes great with just onions inside it and a salad on the side.
Perfect and by far the best video you've done. Video clarity, pan, etc... perfect. Audio...perfect. Next is that we must make this. I'm drooling. :)
I support israel
Are you stupid? Because unless you didn't notice you just said you support genocide! Honestly get a flipping grip ekh so disgusting
Israel has a right to exist. So does the soon to be Palestine. Don't blame the Israeli people. Blame the Israeli government for anything illegal
Wow! I never imagined a food item could set off a political debate over the middle east. Can't we all just get along and stare together into the cheesy goodness?? I mean just look at it?! It looks so delicious!!
Does that come with a side of Palestinian children's tears? Infringement of international human rights? And undisclosed cases of rape and torture thrown in?

Yes, Chef, you can sometime (on rare occasions) find green "pimentos." They are basically unripe red pimentos.
Palestinian couscous & cheese😍😍
Wiki it, it's a type of pepper, not quite the same as a bell pepper but similar.
There are also what are called 'pimento' preserves, these include pieces of pimento in the preserve, some times the spicing in the preserve is styled after pimentos too. :) (so pimento olives for instance, just have pimento bits stuffed into their cores where the pit was)
But generally it refers to the actual pepper type, just like habaneros and jalapenos are peppers but not bell peppers. Hope that helps. :)
its called Palestine not israeli

Thank you Chef John. I've been craving some roasted vegetables and this will make a complete plate!!
This looks like a great dish!

Nice recipe, I will try it soon! By the way, if you ever wondered how Israeli Couscous is called in Israel... we call them "flakes". :)

well some of the audience needs a good talking to! These videos are free and he puts his time and his effort into making these videos and people go on to harp on little details! People just need to appreciate it not start a whole argument.

judging people and saying that they are stupid doesn't make you any better than them !! and each person have the right to say his opinion as you can .. without attacking anyone !
Good to see you were paying attention when he said Israeli couscous is not the same as regular couscous.
I'm going to have to try this one! You are very inspiring. Thank you.
ty so much...I was going crazy at your blog looking for any info on your camera! thx again.
LOL, 'and if you're a couscous fan... I really have no idea. Cos it doesn't really taste like couscous anymore' ahahahahahah! Love your videos
The core of the Egypt underground army is shattered.
How could Chef John, whom you've believed in so faithfully, how could he have misinterpreted your enemy's ethnic roots to create such wonderful dishes...
I had something similar at BJ's Restaurant a few weeks ago I NEED to make it
there are more than enough videos on that exact subject on youtube. why would you choose this video over them to debate this subject? the fact that there's Israel in the subject line is motivation enough?
Actually "Cuscus" is made of something called "Semolina", which is a finely sifted flour.
What you used is called "Ptitim", which is actually just baked pasta - here it comes in many shapes - there are star shaped baked pasta, ring shape baked pasta, rice shaped baked pasta and "cuscus" shaped baked pasta which is what you used.
So for the people that said they can't find it as "Israeli cuscus" - try to look for baked pasta - if you find the real "Israeli cuscus" (Semolina) it won't work!
So delicious with caramelized onions and a little bacon!
I'll have to use brown rice couscous due to my fabulously horrible gluten intolerance, but this will definitely be in a future meal. *drool*
Hi Chef John, thanks so much for making different and unique foods, not the usual 'copy and paste' that seems to be prevalent on TH-cam. I'll try this out someday :-) thanks again
Woo looking good John. I may have to try this one.
err.. i don't care where couscous originated from. all i care is trying out this nomnomlicious recipe shared by Chef John
Why all the dislikes? I swear I clicked on a Nicko's Kitchen video and not a Chef John video...
Why are you doing this to me, Chef John?! You always make me so hungry!!!
Why does this delicious vid have so many dislikes?
My sister is going to like this!
