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).
