Instructions

dry uncovered, several hours, in a cool place, fluffing it with a fork occasionally, until all the grains are separate. For advance preparation, cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate up to several days. To serve, fluff up with a fork so the grains separate well and mound the couscous on a platter.
