Also known as pearl couscous, Israeli toasted couscous features small, round pearls of wheat that are lightly toasted for a rich, nutty flavor and pleasantly chewy texture. It holds its shape well after cooking, making it ideal for salads, pilafs, soups, and side dishes. Its versatile taste pairs easily with vegetables, herbs, meats, and sauces. Cooking Instructions: Bring 1 cup of couscous to 1½–2 cups of water or broth. Simmer for about 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender and the liquid is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and serve.
