✅Ingredients

Plain Couscous:
• 2 1/2 cups water (or chicken broth)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil (or butter)
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups couscous

✅Instructions

1️⃣ In a medium saucepan, bring water, salt, and olive oil to a boil over high heat.

2️⃣ Stir in couscous and cover the saucepan with a lid.

3️⃣ Remove from heat and let stand 5 minutes.

4️⃣ Fluff couscous with a fork and serve hot.

Garlic and Olive Oil Couscous:
Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in the saucepan and saute 1 tablespoon freshly minced garlic in the oil for 60-90 seconds before adding in water and bringing to a boil.

Parmesan Couscous:
Use 2 1/2 cups chicken broth instead of water and 1 tablespoon butter in place of olive oil. When fluffing cooked couscous with a fork, slowly sprinkle in 3/4 cup of freshly grated parmesan cheese to disperse throughout the couscous.

Herbed Chicken Couscous:
Use 2 1/2 cups chicken broth instead of water. At the same time as the salt add in 1/2 teaspoon onion powder along with 1/4 teaspoon each of garlic powder, dried parsley, dried rosemary, and dried thyme, and 1/8 teaspoon dried sage.

Mediterranean Couscous:
At the same time as the salt, add in 1/2 teaspoon each of ground cumin, onion powder, and dried rosemary, along with 1/4 teaspoon each of dried oregano, garlic powder, ground turmeric, followed by a generous pinch of ground cinnamon.

If using Israeli Couscous (Pearl Couscous), increase the amount of water (or broth) used to 3 cups. This type of couscous needs to simmer for 10 minutes, uncovered, before covering and letting it sit for 5 minutes.

I love when you teach me how to cook things I’ve never cooked before. You make it look so easy every time!

Love couscous-quick cooking & easy to adapt to whatever you're serving. I make one with lemon juice/zest, bits of sundried tomato, capers, s&p & oregano. Another I use minced up dried apricots or mango, a pinch of red pepper flakes, onion & garlic powder s&p.

Hi ! that' great to share these recipes. Couscous is originaly a berber or amazigh meal.they are native people in north africa. i'm one of them. as i always remembered, my mom make it with steam. the same way you would cook vegetables with steam. i do so my self now. its an other way to do it. one important thing to khow is that couscous and olive oil go always togather... you can eat couscous with a variety of things : vegetables, lentils, plain yoghourt, beans, ... enjoy...

This is the first time I have seen such a recipe, enjoyed 👍👍

This is how YT cookery lessons should be done. With, um, a practical, printable recipe. You've no idea how rare it is to see that. But how many people want to squint at a tablet or phone when cooking?

I have always wanted to try it, but I've always chickened out. I'm ready to try it now, plus you've given me great flavor combos to choose from. You are the best!

I've never cooked couscous. Always looking for something new to try.

Wonderful tutorial, really made my life easier as I really needed to learn how to make cous cous .

[Anyonesguess]

Bravo! I've never been big on rice. I'm trying to eat healthier. My friend suggested couscous as an alternative. I've never had it before, so I was skeptical.
I tried the first recipe & it came out great! I made a list of all the spices you gave for the other recipes for my next shopping trip. I can't wait to try them. Thank you for explaining the cooking process and recipes clearly & simply. You made it so easy that even a kitchen train wreck like me could ace it! 😊

[cathymarquez]
