Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 cup low-sodium broth or water
  • Extra virgin olive oil
  • Kosher Salt
  • 1 cup dry instant couscous (I used this couscous)
  • To Flavor (optional)
  • Pinch of cumin (or spice of your choice)
  • 1 to 2 garlic clove (minced and sauteed in extra virgin olive oil)
  • 2 green onions (chopped)
  • Fresh herbs to your liking (I used parsley and dill)

Instruction

  • In a saucepan, add broth or water. Add a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and a pinch of kosher salt. Bring to a boil.
  • Now, toast the couscous. In a non-stick skillet or pan, heat about 1 to 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil. Add the couscous and toss around with a wooden spoon until golden brown. This is an optional step but can really adds a great nutty flavor.
  • Stir couscous in the boiled liquid quickly and immediately turn the heat off. Cover and let sit for 10 minutes or until couscous has completely absorbed the broth or water.
  • Uncover and fluff with a fork.
  • You can serve couscous plain, or mix in spices and herbs to give it more flavor. If you like, add in a pinch of cumin, sautéed garlic, chopped green onions, and fresh herbs or your choice. Enjoy!
