Has anyone else tried giant couscous?

I had it last night for the first time and MUCH prefer it to the ordinary stuff. It feels more substantial and filling. I did it with roast veg and feta but would love to hear other recipe suggestions if anyone has any favourites?

Hey guys, this is Ralph

Preparing the best couscous can be really difficult at first, It was almost impossible for us to master how to do it without proper step-by-step tutorial from the professional chefs.

I've watched hundreds of tutorials online but nothing beats this simple, clear-to-the-cut video here: dausel.co/r6MYRc

Click the link above and you'll land on an intermediate page, just click "I am not a robot" to continue and you'll land on the best YouTube tutorial video on cooking couscous where it shows step-by-step on how to prepare perfect rice even if you're a complete beginner.

I hope that someone show me this when I first learning how to cook my first couscous, that could save me hours and hours of banging my head on the wall, trying different methods out.

Again you can watch the tutorial here: https: dausel.co/r6MYRc

I'm almost 100% sure this tutorials is going to blow your mind away.

I am a big fan of this chef and he makes it ridiculous easy! No joke.

Hope it helps smile

I had some a few months ago mixed with roast vegetables and served with roast lamb. It was delicious and presented well on a plate.

I have bought some but I have yet to use it, although I will in the next few weeks.

I make it most weeks in the summer as a salad. I've used both types. But not semolina.
For 2 people - half a glass of couscous half a glass of boiling water. Rest for a few minutes then fork up
After that I add a very little walnut oil, cider vinegar, honey and mustard.
Finally some raisins cashews and chopped dried apricots.
