- Tip – Stir in a little olive oil or butter, salt, lemon and fresh herbs – or use stock instead of water for extra flavour.
Good to know
Do I need to cook it?
No simmering needed – pour on boiling water (125ml per 100g), cover for 5–10 minutes and fluff with a fork.
Is it gluten free?
No – couscous is made from durum wheat, so it contains gluten.
Is this giant couscous?
No – this is regular couscous with small grains that you prepare with boiling water. Giant (pearl) couscous is a larger, pasta-like shape that is boiled.
