Ingredients

2/3 cup water 170 mL
1/8 tsp salt 0.4 g
1 tsp olive oil 5 mL
2/3 cup couscous, whole wheat 100 g

Method

Pour the water into a saucepan, then bring it to a rolling boil. Add the salt and oil. Remove the saucepan from heat then slowly pour in the couscous while stirring gently.

october 06, 2012 | I would make this recipe again

I am allergic to Wheat and Gluten, so I purchase Lundberg Brown Rice Couscous which is really very good. I would never use this recipe though as I can't eat it.
