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.
COUSCOUS TACOS
From a vegetarian cookbook of mine. I love Couscous (KOOS-koos)- it is a quick-cooking grain made from ground semolina in the shape of very tiny beads, so it is a cool change from regular pasta! Also, I suppose you can use soft shell tacos shells, not just hard shell.

Toss the couscous with the dressing and serve.

CASSAVA COUSCOUS (ATTIEKE)
Originally from the Ivory Coast, fermented cassava couscous, or attieke, is a tangy alternative to wheat couscous. It has a slightly sour taste that goes well with your favorite savory and spicy dishes. It's an easy dish to make and is delicious the next day; just add a bit of water before reheating. It is a gluten-free way to enjoy couscous.

Steps:
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Saute onion, carrot, and celery until fragrant, 3 to 4 minutes. Add peanuts, sesame seeds, bay leaf, and salt, stirring often. When the vegetables are tender and the seeds and peanuts have toasted, add the attieke, stirring constantly. Pour the water over the entire pan, distributing evenly.
- Cover and reduce the heat to medium, allowing the couscous to steam until it is moist and heated all the way through, about 5 minutes.
- Remove the cover and fold the couscous with a spatula. Do not stir, as this will mash the couscous, just use a folding maneuver to mix the ingredients from the bottom upwards and let the couscous breathe to help the water evaporate. Top with chopped cilantro.

MEXICAN COUSCOUS
This is an excellent side dish for mexican meals. It's much quicker than rice and is also quite light and healthy. I originally found this recipe on the Better Homes and Gardens website, but have adapted it to fit our own preferences.

COUSCOUS TACOS
This is a vegetarian recipe given to me by a friend. Me and my boyfriend eat it all the time. He claims it reminds him of his mothers tacos (which contain meat!) This recipe is easy to make and doesn't take up alot of time to prepare and cook. I usually use the "hot" taco seasoning to add spice. ENJOY!!
