Cooking Couscous

Couscous is made from semolina that is rolled into small granules or pellets and truly is one of the one tastiest side dishes you can create quickly.

Like pasta or rice, it can serve many culinary purposes. It is simple to prepare - usually you just add boiling water and let it sit. Couscous is pre-cooked, so it can be ready in 10 quick minutes!

Couscous is a good low-fat source of complex carbohydrates and a good-for-you grain food.

• To cook couscous, pour 1 cup of quick-cooking couscous into 1 cup of boiling water or stock (adds a nice flavor) with about 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Remove from heat, cover - a dish towel works well, or a plate, and let stand 5 minutes.
• Fluff the couscous with a fork before serving.
• Add exotic spices or sauces to your couscous or leave it plain.
