To prepare, simply combine the contents of the package with boiling water or broth in a heatproof bowl. Cover the bowl and let it stand for a few minutes until the liquid is absorbed and the couscous is tender. Fluff the couscous with a fork to separate the grains. The lemon seasoning is already incorporated, so no additional spices are typically needed, though you can add fresh herbs or a drizzle of olive oil for extra flavor. It’s ready to serve as a warm side or can be cooled for other uses.
