Your Secret Weapon for Fast, Flavourful Meals

Why spend time cooking when you can simply steep? Spice n Easy's Instant Couscous is the definition of kitchen efficiency. Unlike rice or quinoa, it requires zero boiling or monitoring. Just pour, steep, and fluff. This makes it the ideal choice for throwing together a last-minute side, packing a lunch salad, or bulking out a meal to feed a crowd.

What Exactly is Couscous?
Despite often being grouped with grains, couscous is actually a type of tiny pasta made from semolina wheat. The instant kind is pre-cooked and dried, which is why it only needs rehydrating.

How to Use Instant Couscous in Your Kitchen:

• Simple Side Dish: Prepare with vegetable or chicken stock instead of water and fluff with a fork for an instant flavourful side.

• Hearty Salads: Create a Mediterranean-inspired salad by mixing cooled couscous with chopped cucumber, tomato, olives, feta, and a lemon-herb vinaigrette.

• Tabbouleh Twist: Use as a base for a quick tabbouleh by mixing with vast amounts of fresh parsley, mint, lemon juice, and olive oil.

• Stuffed Vegetables: Use as a filling for baked peppers, tomatoes, or zucchini.

• Breakfast Porridge: Prepare with milk instead of water, then stir through cinnamon, fruit, and nuts for a quick breakfast.

• Under Stews & Tagines: The traditional way to serve it—piled under a rich, saucy stew to absorb all the delicious flavours.
