Couscous With Peas And Peppers Recipe - Cooking Index
Most of the couscous on the market is of the instant variety. All it requires is 1 1/2 cups water or other liquid per 1 cup couscous. The water should be warm; tap water is just fine. Pour it over the couscous and set the couscous aside, covered, for about 15 minutes. Voila! Couscous. It doesn't get any easier. You don't even have to know how to boil water for this one.
