    Rub the couscous gently with your hands along with the butter, salt, and cumin. Place it in the top part of a couscous steamer (or a fine-mesh strainer set over the pot). Set it over the pot with the vegetables and steam, pouring some of the reserved meat broth over the couscous. Steam for 30 minutes with the vegetables until everything is cooked through.
