Couscous
1 cup tomatoes, washed, cored, and chopped
1 cup couscous (from a package, read the instructions, please)
The amount of water you are instructed to add on the package.
Green spices, up to 1 tablespoon of what you have in stock
These may include:
peppermint
spearmint
rosemary
dill
oregano
basil
thyme
crumbled bay leaf
(mince 1/4 cup green pepper if nothing else is around or add 1/4 cup of green peas or 1/4 cup minced broccoli or 1/4 cup chopped spinach)
If the package instructions are in a foreign language, or if there are no instructions, here is a set of instructions:
Make sure the countertop is clean.
Clean off the kitchen table, the placemats, the place settings.
Inspect the cooking pot (for stovetop cooking) or dish (for microwave) quickly for cleanliness. If clean, use - if not clean, wash until clean.
Place all of these ingredients into the cooking pot or dish. Then add one cup of water, herbal tea, or generic beer to the dry couscous, and bring to a boil, then turn off the heat and allow to sit for one half hour, or cook for two and one half minutes in the microwave and allow to sit for five minutes. Then, add another cup of liquid water, herbal tea, or generic beer, and for a conventional stove, add one tablespoon of oil or lard or butter or margarine and bring to a boil, then turn heat down to medium heat for five minutes while stirring, then turn off stove top and allow to sit, while serving a round of drinks and appetizers to guests. If for a microwave, just repeat the first set of instructions for the microwave.
Couscous goes well with hummus (soft chick peas mashed in a blender).
