Uncooked couscous (500 ml) -- Raw coucous, NOT half-cooked Boiling water (same volume as the couscous - 500 ml) Olive oil (2 tablespoons) Salt (1/4 teaspoon) Step 1: Preparing the Lentils 1- First, you need to measure the volume of the uncooked couscous. Here I have around 500 ml. This is an important step so do not skip it! 2- Place the couscous in a bowl and add olive oil. Mix well with your hands, until you feel that all the couscous grains are well coated. 3- Now, in the same container where you measured the couscous, put a large pinch of salt, and add boiling water until you have the exact volume as the couscous. So in my case it’s 500 ml. Remember, it’s a 1 to 1 volume ratio for couscous and water. 4- Add the boiling water to the couscous and immediately cover the bowl with a plate – we want to keep the steam inside! 5- And that’s it. Wait for 10 minutes. Then break apart and fluff the cooked couscous with a fork! The couscous is done! Enjoy (chef hakim)
