This couscous recipe is very basic. Couscous goes with just about any main course, especially chicken. You will find couscous more often in North African cuisine. Most couscous sold in grocery stores has already been pre-steamed, so preparation is vey simple!
INGREDIENTS:
1 1/2 cup couscous
2 3/4 cups water
1/4 teaspoon salt
PREPARATION:
In a saucepan, bring water to a boil. Add salt and stir. Add couscous and remove from heat and allow to sit for about 5 minutes.

Couscous should be light and fluffy, not gummy. Be sure to allow the couscous to absorb the water.

Answer 3

Couscous is extremely easy to prepare. Just about all grocery stores carry the larger containers now. Follow the directions on your package, but typically it's 1 cup of water to 1/2 to 2/3 cups of couscous. You don't boil couscous like you do rice or pasta. It's more like making instant stuffing. You boil the water, add couscous, then remove it from the heat and cover for 5 minutes. The couscous will puff up then you fluff it with a fork and it's ready.

You can add all manner of things to couscous. Whatever cuisine you're having for the rest of your dinner can be matched with the couscous. Spicy, sweet, savory... We like olive oil, pine nuts and garlic in ours as a matter of course, but we've added all different kinds of herbs and spices. Whatever you like!
