Cous-cous, my bulking saviour.

[Notsogifted]

So tired of waiting for half an hour for brown rice to cook, or having to wait for pasta to be ready. I am wondering WHY cous-cous isn't found in most bbing articles as an easy, quick to cook carb. A bit of butter and a pinch of salt and boom, add tuna & veg or salad to the mix and you have a 2 minute meal.

Is there a reason why people don't use it as much as rice/pasta? It's fairly cheap too! (and not very filling)

It also has some fibre (and measly amount of protein).

Why do people not worship couscous as the god of all bulking carbs?

couscous is pasta. I don't think most people know it exists unless they like mediterranean food. Cold couscous salads are my fav.

i get organic whole wheat cous cous make a fair amount and use for 3-4 days some smart butter and a lil bit of salt... eat it with lean organic ground bison mixed together for a quick meal with some veggies and a salad

see now I can get couscous wherever I want in europe, but ground bison is a fair bit harder to find.

Couscous is famous in egypt, we eat it during Ramadan and we use powdered sugar on cous-cous, it tastes heaven, and really low-calories!

This was the case for me, never new what it was until a friend made some; pretty good stuff.

I couldn't eat it in the same way as pasta, with a sauce and stuff. Love it as taboulé with chickpeas, fried chicken, dried apricots and diced tomatoes and peppers. I do like it, but don't think it's as versatile as pasta or rice.

Boil it with an egg for extra protein!
