Tips:

  • Toast the couscous before cooking it. This will give it a nutty flavor and help it to absorb the flavors of the other ingredients.
  • Don't overcook the couscous. It should be cooked through but still have a slight bite to it.
  • Fluff the couscous with a fork before serving. This will help to separate the grains and make it light and airy.
  • Serve the couscous warm or at room temperature. It can be served as a main course or as a side dish.

This lime and coriander couscous is a flavorful and versatile dish that can be enjoyed in many different ways. It's perfect for a light lunch or dinner, and it's also a great make-ahead meal. The couscous can be cooked ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When you're ready to serve, simply reheat it and add the other ingredients.
