One of my favorite side dishes to serve my family is cous cous. It is a fun shape, it tastes great, and is super adaptable– but it can be a little lackluster made traditionally. I found a great new trick for making perfect flavorful cous cous every time- and it all involves how I boil it!
My secret? I cook all of my veggies in the pan first to bring out a rich, caramel flavor- then I add some @SwansonBroths, instead of water, and boil my cous cous in the stock for extra flavor!
Such a brilliant idea, right? Swanson makes it easy to add more flavor to your dishes by swapping broth for water! When boiling rice, potatoes, cous cous, pasta or other dishes, it is easy to add extra flavor by using broth- with no extra steps.
This dish goes great beside chicken, fish, steaks, or even worked into pasta salads!
