Question: how much water for 2 cups of couscous?
Answer: To start, bring the cooking liquid (preferably a flavorful chicken or vegetable broth) to a boil in a medium pot. Add a drizzle of olive oil, a pad of butter, and a little salt. Next, add the couscous. (I use 1-3/4 cups liquid to 1-1/2 cups couscous.)
