Notes
Couscous is a tiny pasta that is made from semolina wheat. It's a great alternative to rice and is gaining popularity because it cooks so quickly - in 5 minutes!? Chicken broth adds flavor to rice, grits, and - as done here - couscous. When any grain recipe calls for water, you can easily substitute an equal amount of broth.
