I love watching Clara, but this video shows a slightly more complicated way of making couscous. To put it simply, chop carrots, onion, celery and saute in a little olive oil and butter. Couscous cooks with equal parts dry to liquid, so once the vegetables are soft, I usually add some frozen peas, salt/pepper and about 1 cup of stock. When the liquid boils, add one cup of couscous, and immediately remove the heat, and sit for 5 minutes. Afterwards, fluff and enjoy
