Ingredients
  

  • 100 g couscous
  • 8 g oil
  • 250 g boiling water
  • ½ tsp salt

dry spices of your choice -I have chosen:

  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • ½ tsp coriander

Instructions

  • The best way to cook couscous is without boiling it and pouring the boiling water over it.
  • This way the couscous tastes great and does not stick together. You can add any spices you like.
  • You will need a dry pan with a flat bottom (or a dry container works too) and a lid. It is important that you can properly close the couscous.
  • Add 100 g of dry couscous, ½ tsp salt, ¼ tsp black pepper and any spices you like, I am using ½ tsp coriander.
  • Mix everything with a fork.
  • Add 250 g boiling water and 8 g of oil, mix with a fork, close tightly with a lid, leave for 20 minutes without opening.
  • After 20 minutes, stir with a fork (not a spoon, for couscous not to stick together).
