Couscous
Don’t we just love a quick and easy dish? I know I do. I love it so much that I have called my cat “couscous”
This is the most ridiculously simple side, super volatile that tastes just as good cold for Tabbouleh as it does hot for Tajines. It is wonderfully light and healthy.
Ingredients for 6
500g of instant couscous (couscous are tiny grains made from wheat, it’s essential teeny pasta)
If you are using a different kind of couscous as the whole grain couscous for example, read the how to cook method written on the packaging.
500ml water or stock (stock add flavour)
60g butter
Salt
Cumin and paprika optional
Always have the same ratio couscous and water ( 1 glass of couscous and 1 glass of water )

Methods
- In a saucepan add the couscous and butter
- Bring the water to boil, when it is boiling add to the couscous and quickly stir
- Add a big pinch of salt
- Add cumin, paprika if you wish
- Cover the saucepan with its lid and add a towel on top to make sure it is well sealed
- Turn off the heat.
- Wait 8 /10 minutes
- The water must have been absorbed by the couscous and it is ready to eat
- With a fork, fluff and separate it so every grain is detached as much as possible.
