Serve Couscous with marinated, broiled vegetables, flavor with garlic and onion as a side dish to meats and poultry. Cooked chilled Couscous makes a super salad ingredient. Use a bed of Couscous instead of rice with curries or stir fry meals. Combine with Harrisa Sauce for a spicy side dish.

Recommended Preparation Instructions:

Bring 1½ cups of water to a boil and add 1 cup of couscous. Remove from heat and cover with a lid. Let stand for 10 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
