It is really important to cover the couscous when you have added the water. This will ensure it steam evenly and all the grains are cooked through well.

2. Let sit for 3 minutes. Now add the boiling water and couscous and cover the bowl with foil. Let sit for 6-8 minutes until tender. Now, with a fork fluff the couscous until all grains are separated.

3. Add the onions, mint, cherry tomatoes and cumin. Season again if necessary.
