    PRINTABLE RECIPE: 🖨️ thestayathomechef.com/how-to-... 🖨️
    🍴🍴🍴🍴🍴🍴🍴🍴🍴
    ✅Ingredients
    Plain Couscous:
    • 2 1/2 cups water (or chicken broth)
    • 1 tablespoon olive oil (or butter)
    • 1/2 teaspoon salt
    • 2 cups couscous
    ✅Instructions
    1️⃣ In a medium saucepan, bring water, salt, and olive oil to a boil over high heat.
    2️⃣ Stir in couscous and cover the saucepan with a lid.
    3️⃣ Remove from heat and let stand 5 minutes.
    4️⃣ Fluff couscous with a fork and serve hot.
    Garlic and Olive Oil Couscous:
    Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in the saucepan and saute 1 tablespoon freshly minced garlic in the oil for 60-90 seconds before adding in water and bringing to a boil.
    Parmesan Couscous:
    Use 2 1/2 cups chicken broth instead of water and 1 tablespoon butter in place of olive oil. When fluffing cooked couscous with a fork, slowly sprinkle in 3/4 cup of freshly grated parmesan cheese to disperse throughout the couscous.
    Herbed Chicken Couscous:
    Use 2 1/2 cups chicken broth instead of water. At the same time as the salt add in 1/2 teaspoon onion powder along with 1/4 teaspoon each of garlic powder, dried parsley, dried rosemary, and dried thyme, and 1/8 teaspoon dried sage.
    Mediterranean Couscous:
    At the same time as the salt, add in 1/2 teaspoon each of ground cumin, onion powder, and dried rosemary, along with 1/4 teaspoon each of dried oregano, garlic powder, ground turmeric, followed by a generous pinch of ground cinnamon.
    If using Israeli Couscous (Pearl Couscous), increase the amount of water (or broth) used to 3 cups. This type of couscous needs to simmer for 10 minutes, uncovered, before covering and letting it sit for 5 minutes.

    Love couscous-quick cooking & easy to adapt to whatever you're serving. I make one with lemon juice/zest, bits of sundried tomato, capers, s&p & oregano. Another I use minced up dried apricots or mango, a pinch of red pepper flakes, onion & garlic powder s&p.

    Hi ! that' great to share these recipes. Couscous is originaly a berber or amazigh meal.they are native people in north africa. i'm one of them. as i always remembered, my mom make it with steam. the same way you would cook vegetables with steam. i do so my self now. its an other way to do it. one important thing to khow is that couscous and olive oil go always togather... you can eat couscous with a variety of things : vegetables, lentils, plain yoghourt, beans, ... enjoy...

    Bravo! I've never been big on rice. I'm trying to eat healthier. My friend suggested couscous as an alternative. I've never had it before, so I was skeptical.
    I tried the first recipe & it came out great! I made a list of all the spices you gave for the other recipes for my next shopping trip. I can't wait to try them. Thank you for explaining the cooking process and recipes clearly & simply. You made it so easy that even a kitchen train wreck like me could ace it! 😊

      It’s a mild pasta flavor by itself with a texture that’s more like rice. In fact, people often confuse couscous as being a grain rather than a pasta made from flour.

      Moroccan couscous is how every single package of couscous is labeled in English speaking countries. The only exception is Pearl couscous which may be labeled as Israeli couscous or Pearl couscous. My audience is 99% from English speaking countries so I choose to use the appropriate terminology for my audience. Those who choose to find offense in it will find offense no matter what I call it. Including all of the anti-Semitic comments I’m getting from citizens of the Maghrib region. Be careful how you represent your region.

      ​@Jandroids She never said couscous originated from Israel: she's saying this particular type of food known as Israeli couscous was cultivated there. Naming helps to distinguish different types and strains of things and has nothing to do with denying the provinance of the original item. When my friends and I swap couscous recipes, we always stipulate whether the recipe uses Israeli or Moroccan couscous because, as they're different, the preparation is quite different.
