[Sca-cooks] Cooking Couscous for 200

[Robyn.Hodgkin at affa.gov.au]

Couscous is a brilliantly easy alternative to rice, which I highly recommend for cooking for large numbers.  Using broth instead of plain water is great, but as everyone said, with modern couscous' you don't have to boil or bake, just add water. 

My hint is: DO NOT ADD AS MUCH SALT AS THE PACKAGE MIGHT SAY.  I would in fact not add salt at all beyond what is in your broth.

ps. would love to hear more about use of couscous in non-middle eastern, period cooking.  Haven't seen it referred to anywhere and would dearly love to be able to use it.
