How to cook couscous perfectly - Easy Cheesy Vegetarian

Recipe printed from www.easycheesyvegetarian.com

Ingredients

500 ml (~ 2 cups) vegetable stock
300 g (~ 1 1/2 cups) dried couscous

Instructions

Make up the vegetable stock with freshly boiled water (or, if using a liquid stock, heat well in the microwave).
Combine the couscous and stock in a large bowl, and mix well with a fork. The couscous should be well-covered with stock, but if it seems like too much, you can always hold a bit of the liquid back, and add it later if needed.
Cover the bowl with a plate, and leave for about 4 minutes. Fluff up the couscous with a fork, and give it a taste. If there's still some excess liquid in the bowl, cover it again for a couple more minutes. Or, if the liquid has all been absorbed but the couscous still tastes a little firm, add a splash more water or stock, and then cover for another minute or two.
When the couscous is cooked and all the liquid has been absorbed, fluff it up again using a fork, and it's ready to serve. It can be eaten warm or cold.
