洋葱库斯库斯是摩洛哥斋月期间的简易主食，用大量洋葱慢炖至深金焦糖化，加鹰嘴豆和少许肉，浇在库斯库斯上。洋葱是摩洛哥厨房里最基础也最重要的蔬菜，几乎每道菜都从炒洋葱开始。在这道菜里洋葱是主角而非底料，用量大到几乎填满锅底，炖至深金浓甜。鹰嘴豆增其分量和蛋白，肉可省略。斋月时摩洛哥人想吃得轻一些，这道菜正合其需。洋葱炖到焦糖化需要时间和耐心，急不得，火候到了自然甜。
洋葱深甜、焦糖化，鹰嘴豆绵软，库斯库斯吸饱甜洋葱汤变得温暖丰润。简单、朴素、管饱。
洋葱的甜味来自长时间低温煸炒引发的美拉德反应和焦糖化，糖分从淀粉中释放并浓缩。炖足二十分钟的洋葱与炒五分钟的截然不同，前者甜而深，后者生而尖。鹰嘴豆在洋葱汤中煮熟，吸足甜味。库斯库斯在洋葱汤的蒸汽上蒸，从气味开始就已经入味。
Variations
有的加少许肉桂或蜂蜜增甜。斋月纯素版只用洋葱和鹰嘴豆。
