Westpoint Naturals Israeli Cous Cous

Israeli Cous Cous, also known as pearl couscous, is a versatile ingredient. Use it as a base for salads, pilafs, or a hearty side dish.

To prepare Israeli or Pearl Couscous, you'll need about 1 1/4 cups of water or vegetable broth for every 1 cup of dry grain. Simmer the grains on the stovetop, covered, for about 10 minutes. The grains fluff up just slightly, and, like barley, they have more of an "al dente" mouth feel when done cooking.
