Notes: I did not bother with step two.

I just poured the hot couscous into a large shallow stainless steel bowl I use for mixing/tossing big salads and let it sit there while I was washing and preparing the green onions and basil.
18
I stirred it around a few times, and it cooled off fine.
19
Also, I spread the green olives in a ring around the edge of my serving bowl.

It looked nice, and they were easier to avoid for anyone who is not as crazy about green olives as I am.
