Cous Cous

 古斯米

Couscous is a type of pasta made with semolina flour from crushed durum wheat. It is a very healthy alternative to rice and goes well with stew or any meat dish. Cous cous can be cooked in under 15 minutes.

Ingredients

90g couscous

180g water (two times the weight of cous cous. More water = softer couscous!)

1/4 tsp salt

Spinkle of herbs

Method

1. Pour couscous in a big bowl/pot. For more flavorful cous cous, toast them in a plan with a tablespoon of butter/olive oil until the granules turn golden brown. 

2. Add salt and herbs to a pot of water and bring it to a boil. Remove from heat immediately and pour into the bowl of couscous. Shake to level the couscous and cover for 10 minutes.  

4. Use a fork to fluff up the couscous. Serve!
