Couscous granules are made by rolling and shaping moistened semolina wheat and then coating them with finely ground wheat flour. Couscous is traditionally served under a meat or vegetable stew. It can also be eaten alone, flavored or plain, warm or cold (e.g., mixed with Tabbouleh), or as a side dish. its nice even hubby eats it, i make a salad with it, i soak it in a chicken stock then flake thru diced red onion, capsicum, tomatos and garlic and diced chicken with plenty of chopped chives and salt & pepper...

Yummy couscous salad: soak your couscous in vegetable stock, lemon juice and mustard mixed together (an equal quantity of iquid to couscous), and add cooked peas, mint, and crumbled feta. Couscous salads are really good to do for barbecues because you can put pretty much anything into them and they're super-quick and easy to make.

It's also delicious with dried fruit and spices - a sweet version.

I mix dried apricots and saltanas through it when it is dry then I put some in a bowl and soak it with boiling water then I add soya milk and eat it for breakfast.
It is easy to cook with using stock or watery fruit juice. I do have a few recipes but need to go and look for them. Healthy recipes like adding madarines, currants and peas and tomatoes with a citrus dressing. Or the lazy, can not be bother cooking is cooked couscous, cooked mixed veges, herb type dressing and or add herbs. Its all about colour
