Instructions

1. Bring the broth or water to a boil in a pot large enough for the couscous to expand.
2. Add a splash of extra virgin olive oil to a pan and toast the dry instant couscous in it briefly, stirring, until it takes on a subtle golden colour.
3. Once the liquid boils, stir the toasted couscous into it and turn off the heat straight away. Make sure it is evenly mixed.
4. Cover the pot and leave it undisturbed for 5 to 10 minutes, until all the liquid is absorbed.
5. Fluff the couscous with a fork and taste it. If you want more flavour, season with a pinch of salt and a pinch of cumin, and add the minced garlic sautéed in olive oil, chopped green onions and chopped fresh herbs, then toss well.
