Ways to Serve Couscous
Cook couscous according to package directions. You can substitute
chicken bouillon stock for water to give it a richer flavor. Remember
that the key to delicious couscous is to keep it moist, so add a liitle
additional water if it dries too fast before cooking is complete or while
you are waiting to serve it.
For variety and flavor, add one of the set of incredients below once
the couscous has taken in most of the water:
1 can (14 oz / 400 g) crushed tomatos drained, 1 Tbs dried basil, a
can (8 oz / 220 g) of peas, 2 sliced carrots, and black pepper
