Here’s a bit of trivia for you: Israeli couscous, or ptitim, in Hebrew, was invented during a period of austerity in 1950s Israel, when rice was virtually inaccessible. The then Prime Minister, David Ben-Gurion, challenged a local food company to develop a wheat substitute for rice, and the result was so successful that it endures to this day. I love it because it makes such a brilliant base for salads. Aside from a slight variation in shape, orzo, risoni and fregola are all essentially the same as Israeli couscous; swap them around as you see fit.
