Couscous

1. 1

   Heat 2/3 cup water and the salt in a small pot.

2. 2

   As soon as it comes to a boil, sprinkle in the couscous and the butter or olive oil, and stir it around for 1/2 minute.

3. 3

   Remove from the heat, cover, and let stand for 5 minutes.

4. 4

   Fluff the couscous up with a fork, and its all ready to go.

5. 5

   Its good plain, or strewn with vegetables, and particularly delicious with stewed or braised leftover meats (see the recipe for Couscous with Lamb, Onions, and Raisins, page 52).

6. 6

   It makes a nice salad, too, dressed with the same ingredients you might use for a Wild Rice Salad (page 179).
