The key is to steam the couscous rather than just boiling it. Traditionally, it’s steamed three times over a pot of simmering broth, which makes it light and fluffy.

Before steaming, rub the dry couscous with olive oil to coat each grain. This prevents clumping and helps the grains stay separate when cooked.

Make sure to fluff the couscous with a fork after each round of steaming. This helps break up any clumps and keeps it airy.

If you don’t have a couscoussier (steamer), you can place a fine-mesh sieve over a pot of simmering water as a substitute. Just make sure to fluff it in between.
