  • Bring the liquid to a boil before adding the couscous. This helps to ensure that the couscous cooks evenly.
  • Cover the couscous while it cooks. This helps to trap the steam and keep the couscous moist.
  • Fluff the couscous with a fork before serving. This helps to separate the grains and make them light and fluffy.
