Basic Couscous
Couscous is extremely simple and fast to make, and a great pantry standby. Whip this up next time you need to add a quick starch to your meal. The general rule is 1 cup of dry couscous to 1½ cups of water. You can use stock for extra flavor. Unless your doctor has put you on a low fiber diet, we recommend using whole wheat couscous.

Ann’s Tips and Tricks
Leftover couscous can be used for salads like tabbouleh, or added to stir fried veggies.
If you are on a bland or low fiber diet, use regular couscous instead of whole wheat.
