North African dish (8)
I believe the answer is:
couscous
'north african dish' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for couscous that I've seen before include "African dish of crushed steamed semolina" , "African dish of crushed and steamed wheat" , "Form of semolina" , "Semolina grains" , "North African dish of crushed durum wheat" .)
