Tips:

  • Use a variety of mushrooms. This will give your dish a more complex flavor. If you can, use wild mushrooms, as they have a more intense flavor than cultivated mushrooms.
  • Sauté the mushrooms in butter. This will help to caramelize them and bring out their flavor.
  • Use a good quality couscous. Look for couscous that is made from whole wheat or semolina flour.
  • Fluff the couscous with a fork before serving. This will help to separate the grains and make it light and fluffy.
  • Serve the couscous warm or at room temperature. It can be served as a main course or a side dish.
