COUS COUS
Ingredients
200g cous cous
250ml water
15-30ml olive oil
Salt and pepper.
Method
Select a pan that will hold the cous cous once expanded. This will be approx two times original volume.
Heat the oil, water and seasoning to a fast boil in the pan.
Pour in the cous cous stir, turn off the heat, put a lid on the pan and leave for at least 10 minutes.
During this time the cous cous will absorb the water, expanding and also steam in the residual heat.
Once the cous cous has expanded, remove the lid and with a fork, turn and break up the cous cous. It will fall into the granular appearance easily.
The cous cous will stand at this point until ready for serving.
