Prep Time 3 minutes

Cook Time 12 minutes

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 ½ cups (200 grams) Israeli couscous
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 cups water
1 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Saute: Add the couscous and the olive oil in a pot over medium/high heat and saute for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until it starts to smell nutty and the pearls start to brown in certain parts.
