How to Make Breakfast Couscous

Couscous for breakfast? Why not? It's hearty and satisfying, with just a little bit of texture. Serves one (but easily expandable for as many as you like).

Things You'll Need

• salt
• 1 c. milk (or half milk, half water)
• honey
• maple syrups
• brown sugars
• 1/2 c. couscouses
• Brown Sugars
• Honey
• Maple Syrups
• Salt

Instructions

1. Bring the milk (or half milk and half water) and a sprinkle of salt to a slow boil in a small saucepan.

2. Add the couscous. Stir, cover, and turn off the heat.

3. Wait 5 minutes. Remove the cover and fluff the couscous.

4. Serve with brown sugar, honey or maple syrup.

Tips & Warnings

• Milk can burn easily, so heat it at a moderate temperature and stir it from time to time. It's less likely to burn if you use a mixture of half milk and half water.

• Add a few regular or golden raisins or chopped dates to the milk as you begin to heat it.

• Add a sprinkle of cloves, cinnamon or allspice to the milk as well.

• Use a little less couscous to leave the cereal slightly milky.
