Couscous

If there is one food I recommend as a fast and easy side dish, it’s this one: couscous! This tiny pasta is fluffy, flavorful, and takes just 10 minutes to whip up with no actual cooking required. That’s right: all you need is boiling water!

This traditional Berber food has swept the globe because it’s easy to make and its light texture makes it perfect for serving with just about anything. Here’s how to make couscous: my easy recipe.
