To prepare, simply combine the contents of the box with boiling water or broth in a saucepan. Stir well, cover the pan, and let it sit off the heat for a few minutes until the liquid is absorbed and the couscous is tender. Fluff with a fork before serving. The pre-added flavors of roasted garlic and olive oil mean you don't need to add extra seasonings, though you can certainly enhance it further with fresh herbs or a squeeze of lemon if desired.
