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
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

 
Methods

  1. Bring the water to boil, when it is boiling add the couscous
  2. Add the butter and stir
  3. Add a big pinch of salt
  4. Add cumin, paprika and if you wish
  5. Turn off the heat.
  6. Wait 5 /10 minutes
The water must have been absorbed by the couscous
With a fork, fluff and separate it so every grain is detached as much as possible.
Buddy it up with a Tajine

    I wish to share with you my  cuisine. For me cooking is cultivating an art as delicate 
    as it is succulent.
    It gives  l'amour de la vie, heals and softens the abrupt edges of life. 
    I love comments and feedback, and please, don't hesitate to share as well your best recipes with us, write them in Contact and it will be posted
