Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup of semolina
  • 3 tablespoons of linseed oil + 1 tablespoon to be used separately
  • 1/2 teaspoon of salt
  • 1 glass of water

Instructions
 

  • Put the semolina in a large, low bowl and knead with 3 tablespoons of seed oil until the oil is well absorbed.
  • In a nonstick pan, heat the water, the tablespoon of oil set aside, and the salt.
  • When the water boils, put the semolina and mix once, then reduce the heat to low, and cook the semolina for 15 minutes.
  • Remove the couscous thus obtained from the heat, and transfer it to a couscous, sieve, jellab, in Arabic, set above a bowl. Sift well, until obtaining a very light, very fluffy, and grainy couscous.
  • If you do not have a sifter, you can also try a pasta colander with a large mesh, but the sieve greatly simplifies things!
