Easy Almond Couscous
I always love making couscous as its so easy to make, and extremely delicious to eat. Traditionally always served with a meat or vegetable tagine, however, a great family filler at any BBQ or group gathering.

Notes
The art to a great couscous is to allow the grains to soak up all the stock without being disturbed, hence it is important to leave it to sit in a covered bowl before serving. Once the liquid is all soaked up, use a fork to break it apart.
