PERFECT COUSCOUS
Couscous isn't a grain, as some people may think - it's actually a type of pasta made from durum wheat and shaped like a grain. The couscous you have in your pantry is most likely instant couscous that's been steamed and dried so it cooks very quickly, for a fast and easy side dish or base for a salad or bowl. Look for whole wheat couscous in your supermarket; it cooks in the same time as the regular variety and has all the virtues of whole wheat pasta. This recipe makes a big batch for make-ahead meal prep but is easily halved.

Steps:
- Combine the water or broth, olive oil and 1 teaspoon salt in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil. Stir in the couscous and immediately remove from the heat. Cover and let sit 5 minutes.
- Fluff the couscous thoroughly with a fork (the more you fluff, the more separate and light the grains will be). Season with salt and pepper. If you are making the couscous ahead, spread while hot on a baking sheet lined with parchment to stop the cooking as it cools. Once cool, refrigerate in an airtight container up to 5 days.

Take a break from pasta, rice, and potatoes with this quick chicken couscous bowl.

The chicken is moist and tender, the couscous is light yet satisfying, and the veggies add color, flavor, and texture. It can be eaten at any temperature and would be perfect to pack for a picnic.

CARROT AND CILANTRO COUSCOUS
This is from Coup de Pouce. This is an healthy recipe and done in 20 minutes. No cooking time involved. ETA on July 22, 2011 : I made this recipe. We loved the carrots and peas in the couscous. We thought it was too much fresh cilantro in the couscous. But also we're not fan of cilantro. If you love cilantro, then I'm sure it's going to be perfect for you ;)
