Ingredients

  • A couple of tablespoons of luscious olive oil
  • A quarter cup of finely chopped onion
  • Two blocks of flavorful vegetable bouillon
  • A hint of sunny yellow curry powder, just a teaspoon
  • A dash of fragrant oregano, half a teaspoon
  • Two full cups of pearly Israeli couscous
  • Two and a half cups of fresh, clear water

Step 1

Begin by warming up some oil in a saucepan at medium heat. Toss in the diced onion, bouillon cubes, a sprinkle of curry powder, and a dash of oregano. Let it all cook together, gently breaking down the bouillon cubes, until the onion turns soft and translucent, which should take around 5 minutes. Once the onion is ready, stir in the couscous, making sure to coat it evenly with all the flavorful ingredients.

Step 2

Next, pour in water into the saucepan and let it come to a bubbling boil. Cover the pan and lower the heat to a gentle simmer. Stir occasionally as the couscous absorbs the liquid and softens, which should take roughly 8 to 10 minutes. Remember, the key is to keep an eye on it and stir to prevent any sticking or burning. Once the couscous has reached a tender consistency, it's ready to be served and enjoyed!

Extra Tips & Suggestions

  1. 1. Keep your couscous in an airtight container to maintain its freshness and prevent it from absorbing unwanted odors.
  2. 2. Store your curry powder in a cool, dark place to preserve its flavor and vibrant color.
  3. 3. When storing vegetables for your couscous, make sure to separate the leafy greens from the sturdier vegetables to prevent wilting.
