MAKES 3 CUPS (6 SERVINGS)

Couscous is a tiny pasta that is cooked and served like a grain. It is quick to prepare and can
be used in a wide array of dishes including pilafs, salads, and soups. Whole wheat couscous
is the most nutritious. Look for it at natural food stores and larger supermarkets, or you can order
it from online retailers.

11⁄2 cups boiling water
1 cup couscous
1⁄2 teaspoon salt


1. Combine the boiling water, couscous, and salt in a saucepan or
heatproof bowl. Remove from the heat, cover, and let stand for 10
to 15 minutes. Fluff with a fork before serving.

2. Stored in a covered container in the refrigerator, leftover Couscous
will keep for up to 3 days.
