Instructions
Step 1
In a saucepan, add vegetable broth or water. Add a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and a pinch of kosher salt. Bring to a boil.
Step 2
Now, 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 the boiled liquid quickly and immediately turn the heat off. Cover and let sit for 10 minutes or until couscous has completely absorbed the broth or water.
Step 4
Uncover and fluff with a fork.
