Ingredients

2/3 cup water   170 mL
1/8 tsp salt   0.4 g
1 tsp olive oil   5 mL
2/3 cup couscous   100 g
1 tsp butter, unsalted [optional]   5 g

Method

Pour the water into a saucepan, then bring it to a rolling boil. Add the salt and oil. Remove the saucepan from heat then slowly pour in the couscous while stirring gently. Cover for 2 min, until the couscous has swelled and all the water is absorbed. Add a little more water if the couscous looks too dry.

1-2 pats of butter can also be added, if you wish. Serve.
