Buttered Couscous
What you need
- 1 cup couscous
- butter
- 1 cup stock
- parsley
Salt, pepper, water and oil don’t count. Mom always had those.
What you do
Pour boiling stock over the couscous in a bowl, cover with a plate and leave five minutes. Fork through butter, parsley and plenty of pepper.
How it feels to make
No cooking at all — just boiling water and five minutes of waiting.
Mom wrote on the back
Cover it properly and don't peek. The steam is what cooks it.
