How people cook with it
Couscous is a convenient pantry staple that can be used in many different dishes. Its mild flavor makes it a good base for both savory and sweet preparations.

To prepare, typically you would combine the dry couscous with boiling water or broth in a bowl. A common ratio is one part couscous to one part liquid. Cover the bowl and let it sit for about five minutes, or until the liquid is absorbed. Then, fluff the couscous with a fork to separate the grains. You can add a little butter or olive oil for richness and flavor. It is ready to serve as a base or accompaniment to your meal.
