| I just want 2 eat

After burgers, onion rings and chocolate mousse, let's have a healthy meal!
Couscous is a healthy grain that can be eaten in many ways: with meat and veggies, in salads such as a taboule, or buttered as I will show you (I know: it is supposed to be healthy and I add butter!).
To make it, I am using a couscousier, but you can use a steamer. Some cook it by simply adding boiling water on it, but the taste is totally different and the grains are not going to be as light and fluffy as with a steamer.

For 4 servings:
2 cups of couscous
1 teaspoon of salt
1 tablespoon of vegetable oil
2 tablespoons of butter
1 cup or 2 cups of edamame (based on your taste)

in a bowl, mix the couscous, the salt and the oil with a cup of water. Put in the steamer, add the edamame and cook for 30 minutes, stirring from time to time to avoid packets of semolina. Add the butter and stir until fully melted. Et voilà!

You can then serve it hot with a boiled egg, raisins or green olives. It can also be eaten with buttermilk in it (try and adjust the quantities)!

Bon appétit!
