Quick and easy to prepare, organic couscous is a versatile addition to the pantry.

How to Use:

Couscous is very easy and fast to prepare. Simply add 1 cup of organic couscous to 1 cup of boiled water or stock. Water can be lightly salted to taste; Murray River pink salt is a delicious choice. Leave couscous to ‘swell’, covered on the bench for 5-7 minutes. Fluff with a fork and add a little butter or oil and desired spices.

Couscous is ready to serve as an accompaniment to main dishes including curries and hotpots, or can be turned into a salad or complete dish. Add roasted vegetables, mushrooms and tempeh, or diced grilled chicken. Toss with nuts, dried fruit with savoury spices, or add cinnamon and nutmeg with a drizzle of coconut nectar as a delicious dessert. Couscous can also be rehydrated with cold water by soaking for 35-40 minutes.
