Thinking what to cook for lunch? Tired of having a sandwich or a pie? What if we use this ingredient (Israeli couscous) instead of bread. I cook the Israeli couscous the same as I do when I make rice. 🍵1 cup of israeli couscous – 🍵🍵2 cups of water. Put this ingredients together in the rice cooker and is done. It takes less than 20 mins and is very delicious. Then add your favourite vegetables.
👉🏻Israeli couscous is a type of toasted pasta shaped like rice grains, it was developed in Israel in the 1950’s when rice was scarse.
