The couscous was very savoury, can be eaten on its own or with meat/vegetables of your choice

Couscous is a coarsely ground semolina pasta. The grain is a staple in many North African countries. Over the last decade, it's cropped up on other parts of the world menu too. So when I saw Couscous in Cold Storage while doing my grocery shopping, I was very excited and decided to buy one pack. The preparation was very easy with all the directions stated at the pack. I had added extra garlic and onion during the preparation to enhance the flavour and aroma.

30 g butter
1 onion, diced

3 garlic cloves, minced

1 cup couscous

2 cups water

6. Cover and leave to stand for 5 minutes.
