    I just came here to find the EXACT way to cook couscous and my God I ❤how simple and effortless you made this!!! I went ahead and followed your instructions (to the T) but added some parsley, toasted peanuts and lemon zest at the end. It was perfection!!! The family loved it (and they’re usually a hard nut to crack with anything beyond “steak & potatoes”). Thank you, thank you THANK YOU!!! You’re the BEST😊

      This is not couscous but semolina. In morocco we put the couscous in a pan. You turn the fire on on very low. You mix your semolina with some olive oil (a little). Then you turn the fire off and add a tiny bit of hot/boiling salted water, in the shape of a snails. You cover the pan and let it sit for 5 mins (even if you forget about it, it’s totally fine). Then you fluff it (we like to use a wooden spoon). And you do that about 4 times. You’ll see when to stop :)

    If you add all of your ingredients to your Water/Broth first then heat until boiling and then add the Couscous, you'll have maximized all the flavors. Couscous actually doesn't need to be cooked, but if you're using Meat Stock you should boil the Stock anyway. I make Couscous with Salsa all the time 1/2 cup Couscous and 1/2 cup of Salsa juice and water, then toss in the Salsa Veggies and mix every few minutes, no need to cook.

Try a stainless steel pan and you will see the difference .
