  • Add finely chopped garlic and spices, fry for 1 min.
  • Add the cans of tomatoes, beans, and corn with their liquids. Add some salt.
  • Add another ½ cup of water, taste and add more salt and spices. Bring to a boil.
  • Turn off the heat, stir in the cousous, and cover. Let sit for 5 min.

Notes

This is also delicious with Israeli couscous, but in that case you have to cook it for longer. 
Any beans or veggies work here, so use whatever you have on hand.
