A really simple way to make couscous
Simplest of all simple grains, instant couscous is ready in a flash, and doesn’t even really need the stove. Of course, cooking it with stock over low heat will produce a different dish, but as a quick and easy side, especially one to be mixed in with sautéed meats or vegetables, this is the easiest way. To start, measure out your couscous. |
