In a medium sauce pan, combine 1 1/4 cups of water,( or broth, tomato juice,or any other flavored stock) and 2 teaspoons of olive oil or butter. Bring to a boil and stir in 6 ounces of couscous. Cover tightly and remove from heat. Let it stand (still covered) for 7 minutes. Using a fork fluff the couscous before serving. When I use water I add a chicken boullion cube, 1/4 teaspoon of onion powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of dried parsley to it before I add the couscous.You can also add to the boiling water or stock red pepper flakes( if you like the heat), sun-dried tomatoes, golden raisins,or garlic powder.If you would like to make it a main course add diced chicken or parmesean cheese.
