100gcouscous
180gboiling water
2gsalt
Method
Couscous is pre-cooked so all you really have to do it rehyrate it properly.
Good rule of thumb is 1.8 times as much boiling water as couscous by weight.
7g of salt per kilo of rehydrated couscous.
Pour the couscous into a pan, and sprinkle with salt then pour the boiling water evenly over the couscous making sure it's completely covered.
Put the lid on the pan to seal the moisture in, leave for at least 20mins on the counter top.
When removing the lid there should be no sign of water.
Drag a fork across the top of the couscous repeatedly to release it into a light grain.
Keep going until there are no lumps. Use as required.
