Ingredients
Uncooked couscous (500 ml) — Raw coucous, NOT half-cooked
Boiling water (same volume as the couscous – 500 ml)
Olive oil (2 tablespoons)
Salt (1/4 teaspoon)
Directions
- Place the couscous in a bowl and add olive oil.
- Mix well with your hands, until you feel that all the couscous grains are well coated.
- Now, in the same container where you measured the couscous, put a large pinch of salt and add boiling water until you have the exact volume as the couscous. So in my case it’s 500 ml. Remember, it’s a 1 to 1 volume ratio for couscous and water.
- Add the boiling water to the couscous and immediately cover the bowl with a plate we want to keep the steam inside!
- And that’s it. Wait for 10 minutes.
- Then break apart and fluff the cooked couscous with a fork!
- The couscous is done!
