Couscous - Basic
Servings: 4 people
Ingredients
- 1 box couscous 5.8 oz box
- 1 1/4 cup water
- 1/2 tsp pepper
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp turmeric
- 1/4 tsp mace
- 2 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- Pour the couscous into a large bowl, add pepper, salt, turmeric, mace and oil and mix thoroughly. Cover the couscous with water and gently "knead" it with your hands to separate the grains.
- Cover and set aside for 30 minutes or until the water is absorbed. (If the grains are still hard, add a little more water and set aside.)
- Optional: Before serving the couscous, bring 1 cup of water to boil and dissolve a meat or chicken bouillon cube to make a broth that you pour over it. Serve warm.
