Step 1

In a saucepan, add broth or water. Add a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and a pinch of kosher salt. Bring to a boil.

Step 2

Toast the couscous. In a non-stick skillet or pan, heat about 1 to 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil. Add the couscous and toss around with a wooden spoon until golden brown. This is an optional step but can really adds a great nutty flavor.

Step 3

Stir couscous in quickly and immediately turn the heat off. Cover and let sit for 10 minutes or until couscous has completely absorbed the water.

Step 4

Uncover and fluff with a fork.

Step 5

You can serve couscous plain, or mix in spices and herbs to give it more flavor. If you like, add in a pinch of cumin, sauteed garlic, chopped green onions, and fresh herbs or your choice. I also added a pinch of cumin. Enjoy!
