How to Cook Couscous
Boil liquid -- like water, broth, or milk -- then stir in couscous. Remove it from the heat and let it stand for 5-15 minutes, covered. Don't let it boil. When the couscous has absorbed all the liquid, take off the lid and fluff it with a fork. Exact cooking times can be different, so check your package for instructions.
Serve couscous under a stew of meat or vegetables. You could also eat it on its own mixed with dried fruit, like currants or raisins, and nuts, like almonds or pine nuts.
Make a breakfast porridge by cooking couscous in milk and adding dates, honey, and cinnamon. For more flavor, look for recipes that call for spices and herbs. Or add couscous to bulk up soups or salads.
