Simple Veggie Couscous

I know it's nothing like the real couscous that maroccan people cook. When I lived with 2 girls from marocco, they made me taste the best couscous in my life with so much love and effort !
But my version is with humour, so enjoy !
It's quick, it's tasty and good for packing as lunch to work !

Steps

15 minutes

1

First prepare the couscous. I use the brand in the photo and cook it according to the instruction: 1. Boil the water in a pot, add salt and oil. 2. Add the couscous and remove the pot from the stove. Mix gently. 3. Cover with a lid and forget about it for 3-4 minutes. It should absorb ALL water by that time.
2

While the couscous is absorbing water in the pot, quickly grab a decent-size pan and through it on the stove on high heat. Do NOT put any oil. Let it sit.
3

Through some frozen mixed veggies that you had in your freezer since Christmas. I had a mix with peas, carrots, beans, corn etc.
4

To make it more flavored and make Gordon Ramsay proud of you, chop some fresh scallions from your garden and through them in the pan with the low-key frozen stuff.

Yep, that was more than 3 minutes, means we can check on the pot with the couscous. If not burnt, add butter, put the pot on the stove just for a bit more until the butter is fully melt and mix with a fork until the couscous is nice and grainy.
6

If you're not patient enough, just through the couscous with not-yet-melted butter into the pan with the veggies, put the pan on low-medium heat and mix nicely with a wooden spatula, because why not.

After a couple of minutes, when everything is nicely mixed, you're done ! Enjoy it while it looks nice in the pan and eat it with elegance at work even though it's all smushed in your plastic container.
