Have you ever made couscous before? It's so easy! We love having this with so many meals. It's definitely still a carb {c'mon, this is who I am as a person} but feels lighter than a side dish like potatoes or bread so I love using it when we don't want a meal that is too heavy.

I usually purchase moroccan couscous because that is what is most available in my store, but there is also a larger couscous called pearl couscous that is great when you want it to really stand out, like in a salad.

How to Make Couscous

Bring water to a boil.
Add seasonings.
Add couscous.
Turn off heat and let stand.
Fluff with a fork.

See?? So super easy. For this moroccan couscous recipe, I kept the seasonings simple but it tastes delicious as a stand-alone side without needing a lot of sauce or other flavors to make it tasty.

The half and half is optional, but I like that it adds a creamy texture that I really love. If you don't use the half and half, the couscous may need just a little bit more water. You want it to be dry enough that is won't excessively stick together but not too dry that it isn't cooked through.
