1

Boil some water.

2

Measure 3/4 cup of couscous into a bowl.

3

Pour vegetable stock over the couscous to cover it by a 2:1 ratio, using about 3/4 to 1 cup of liquid.

4

Swirl the couscous and stock around to ensure even coverage.

5

Cover the bowl and let it sit for 3 to 4 minutes to absorb the liquid.

6

After 3 to 4 minutes, check the couscous; it should be soft and light.

7

Mix the couscous to distribute the flavors evenly, ensuring the bottom doesn't get too much heat.

8

Cover again and let it sit for another 2 minutes before serving.
