To prepare, typically you would bring water or broth to a boil. Then, you stir in the couscous mix and cover the pot. Let it sit off the heat for a few minutes to allow the grains to absorb the liquid and steam. Fluff with a fork to separate the grains. The Parmesan flavor is already incorporated, so no additional seasoning is usually needed. It’s a fast way to add a satisfying element to your plate without much effort.
