Making couscous, easy steps :D

Hi girls,
I've been asked to put a recipe for how to make the perfect Couscous. So I'm gonna do my best to explain in an easy way.


Ingrediants:


Coucous
All kinds of vegetables you want.
Make sure you have sweet potatos, and a piece of pumkin.!
Chicken , or beef, or none (for vegetarians)
1 1/2 teaspoon Salt
2 teaspoon  Ground pepper
 1teaspoon  Ginger
1teaspoon Ground Cardamom
2 Tablespoon of olive oil.
1 onion
1 Tomato


Step one, see this box..

Anyway this is the box which contains the Couscous. Put it in a large pot. I can't find a picture with a large pot but just do what I say! :P

So this is actually a small pot. Use a larger one. and put half the contents of the box.

Now what you're going to do is take a cup of water and mix it with that. BUTT READ CAREFULLY!

When you're gonna put the water, put is in a way as if its rain falling on the couscous. So you have to be careful and pour the water in a showery way all around the pot which contains the cousous. Keep doing that until the water from teh cup is done. Than get 1 table spoon of oil  and one pinch of salt. And pour it around the couscous.

Next step is, wash your hand than mix the mixture you just did with your fingers! Making sure that you don't turn the couscous into paste! ALL THE COUSCOUS dots should be seperated. Keep mixing for like 2 minutes.

Step 2:

Cut the onion into pieces.Place a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat.Put 2 Tablespoons of olive oil.And put the onion you just cut. Let them heat for 2 minutes. Then add the Chicken or Beef and a 4 sliced Tomato. After 5 minutes add 1 cup of water, and then pour the spices.Let that heat.

Step 3:

Go and cut all your veggies, into small pieces. like cubes if you want. Except for sweet potatoes and pumpkin! Ill tell you why later.

Now when you finish cutting the vegetables go and add them to the pot where you are heating your chicken and tomato and etc... Add to that 2 cups of water!

Step 4: Repeat Step 1, Shower the couscous and add 1 Tablespoon of oil. Mix it with your fingers making sure that you you don't turn it to a paste. Now you are going to use a SPECIAL POT. Please concentate well with me.

The vegetables and chicken/beef you are heating are in the low pot of this pic.

Now the couscous which you were mixing you have to put it in the top pot. This top pot has holes in it. That means that your couscous will get cooked by the evaporation of your lower pot.

 Like this...

All you have to do now is heat this for 20 minutes. Then go back to it. Take the upper pot, put its content in your large bowl, shower it like in step one but don't add oil this time. Let it cool for about 5 minutes after mixing. Then re-put it in the upper pot and let it heat for 15 minutes, then add the sweet potato and the pieces of pumpkin than let everythign heat for 15 more minutes. Afterwards your couscous is done... :)

Put the Couscous and then decorate it with the Vegetables and shower it with the soup you are left with.!
