Many cooks love couscous not only for its flavor but also for its quick preparation, which preserves many of its beneficial properties. It makes a great side dish in just five minutes. You can also complement the couscous with ingredients like grated carrots and raisins, which are steamed simultaneously with the couscous, creating a delicious Middle Eastern-style side dish with the contrasting flavors of sweet raisins and a tart red wine vinegar and olive oil dressing. Before serving, loosen the garnish and toss it with fresh herbs. It can be served with any meat, fish, or chicken dish. It's quick to prepare and looks very impressive and festive.
