Equipment
- Saucepan
Ingredients
- 1 cup couscous
- 1 ½ cup water
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 6 cherry tomatoes
Instructions
- In a saucepan bring to boil 1 ½ cup of water with a pinch of salt. Then pour over it 1 cup of couscous and stir with a spoon. Remove from the heat and cover with a lid. Leave it to hydrate for 5-10 minutes ( see de instruction on your package). After the elapsed time, gently fluff-up couscous with a fork to make it crumbly.
- Meanwhile, take about 6 cherry tomatoes and chop them in medium size cubes. Now incorporate them into the couscous by mixing gently. For this dish, I used a simple and fresh dressing. Drizzle couscous with about 1 tbsp of olive oil and 1 tsp of fresh lemon juice. Mix again and garnish with some dill.
