not sure Amy - any advice would be welcome . it may just be very similar use but different texture.

if its what i am thinking - looks like small little balls but diff to fine couscous - you can cook it like rice or fry up an onion then add and cover with water - add salt and cover. it takes about 15min, and is a favourite with the kids.
let us know if it works

yum, yum, yum. i lurve that couscous - the one i get is Lebanese but sounds the same. Its a bit bigger than a pea. i just cook it the same but then sometimes to make it even yummier and crunchy afterwards i melt some butter in a frying pan and pan fry it until its brown.

It goes chewy and crunchy and the texture and flavour is so different. Yum i am going to ave to make some now for dinner

oh thanks ladies!
i will try it out this week and let you know how i go.
do you use equal amounts of water to couscous? ie 1 cup to 1 cup or more like rice, 1 cup of rice, 1.5 cups of water.
