Steamed Couscous

Directions

1. 1
   On a large rimmed baking sheet, combine the couscous with the water and stir with your hands to combine. Let sit for 10 minutes. Break up the clumps of couscous and combine with a tablespoon of olive oil. On the stove boil salted water or broth in a pasta pot with a drainer insert. Transfer the couscous into the strainer, making sure it does not make contact with the water. Steam it, with no lid, for 15 minutes, then transfer it back to the sheet pan and let it cool. Break up any clumps with your fingers and add another 1/4 cup of water, then return it to the pot and steam for another 20 minutes. Remove it from the pot and fluff it up with your fingers, add a tablespoon of butter and serve.
