Steps:
- Couscous: Bring the water to a simmer in a small pot over medium heat, then turn off the heat.
- In a shallow baking dish combine the couscous, salt and olive oil, tossing to coat. Add in the warm water and smooth the couscous into an even layer. Cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap and allow it to rest for 15 minutes by the stove.
- Gremolata: In a medium bowl, combine the lemon zest and juice with the sea salt, garlic and parsley. Stir in enough olive oil to blend and bring the ingredients together. Taste for seasoning.
- When ready to serve, flake the couscous with a fork and taste for seasoning. If the texture is a little too al dente, microwave the dish for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Reseason the couscous with salt, if necessary. Toss it with the gremolata and, again, taste for seasoning.

- Put 1 cup of broth (or water) in a sauce pan. Add a small drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and a pinch of kosher salt. Bring water to a boil.
- This is an optional step but can really make a difference in imparting flavor. Heat a little bit of extra virgin olive oil (about 1 to 2 tablespoon) in a non-stick skillet. Add the uncooked couscous and toss around, constantly, using a wooden spoon. You're looking for the couscous to gain a beautiful golden brown color (watch the couscous carefully, this will be quick).u003cimg alt=u0022Toasted couscous in skilletu0022 src=u0022https://www.themediterraneandish.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/how-to-cook-couscous-recipe-4.jpgu0022/u003e
- Stir the toasted couscous in the boiling water. Cover the sauce pan and remove from heat or turn the heat off immediately. Let the couscous sit undisturbed for about 10 minutes until it has absorbed all the water. Uncover and fluff with a fork. Taste and adjust salt to your liking.u003cimg alt=u0022Cooked couscous in saucepanu0022 src=u0022https://www.themediterraneandish.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/how-to-cook-couscous-recipe-6.jpgu0022/u003e
- You can absolutely serve your couscous plain at this point. Or, feel free to add a little seasoning of your choice and some fresh herbs. I added a pinch of ground cumin, chopped parsley, dill, and green onions. I also added a couple of garlic cloves that have been minced and sauteed in extra virgin olive oil. u003cbr/u003eOnce you add the flavor makers of your choice, give the couscous another toss to combine, and transfer to a serving platter.
