SC - cous cous

[Schumacher, Deborah]

While unpacking after  our move I ran into a feast hand out from a  Silk
Road feast we had been to last  spring. One of the items   served at the
feast was a   cake made of cous cous, apricots and apricot nectar.  Now
even though I doubt the  periodness of  many things served at that
feast(example  eggrolls) , I must say  I wonder  about cous cous.
Anyone  know if there is any record for its use in period? I also wonder
if it was boiled like we do know,  or steam as I've read  was
traditionally done. Can anyone point  me  to a good place to start
looking?
