While couscous is cooking, saute the bell pepper & tomato in a pan until soft. Add cooked couscous to bellpepper/tomato mixture. Mix thoroughly and squeeze half of a large lemon over the mixture. Pepper & salt to taste. Saute for a few minutes until heated through. (Before i did the previous step, i also threw in a few handfuls of dry TVP granules to help soak up the extra liquid.) Mix in chopped basil and saute for a few seconds more. > > Megan Milligan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 17, 2004 Report Share Posted August 17, 2004 no specific amount. depending on the size of the pot, about 1/2 to 2/3 full of water. I also add a bit of olive oil to keep the couscous from sticking and float a wooden spoon in it, to help keep the boil-over foam down.
