Couscous

With the advent of instant couscous (widely available in American supermarkets) the method of preparation has been greatly simplified. Hot water is added all at once, and the grain covered and rested, then fluffed. Spices can be added along with the water, as well as butter or oil.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups Instant couscous, medium grain
  • 3 cups Water
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 2 tablespoons Butter or oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon Cinnamon (or a generous pinch of turmeric)

Preparation

Place the couscous in a small baking pan that will hold 8 cups (to give you a little room for fluffing). Bring the water to a boil with the salt, butter, and cinnamon, if using. Pour over the couscous, stir well with a fork, just once, and cover the pan with foil. Let rest for 15 minutes, and then fluff the couscous with a fork. Cover and hold over hot water, or set in a warm place like over the stove or in a turned-off oven until needed.

If the couscous has not puffed completely, sprinkle with a little hot water and put in a colander over steaming hot water for about 20 minutes longer.
