1 Pound Couscous -- not quick cooking
2 Tablespoons Butter
Salt -- to taste
Place the couscous in a large bowl and add 2 1/2 cups
boiling water and salt. Let the couscous rest a few minutes
to expand.
In a 12-inch frying pan heat the butter and couscous. Cover
and
cook over medium heat about 5 minutes, stirring
occasionally.
Be careful not to burn the couscous. Turn off the heat and
let
stand covered a few minutes.
Morocco has offered some of the most wonderful food
imaginable, and it would take quite an imagination to come
up with something as clever as couscous. This is a
processed wheat dish not unlike bulgur wheat. But it is a
finer grain, light in flavor and texture, and it absorbs the
flavor of the foods with which it is served, stews being the
usual accompaniment.
