- Use fresh ingredients.: For the best flavor, use fresh tomatoes and freshly squeezed lemon juice.
- Let the couscous rest.: After pouring the hot chicken gravy over the couscous, cover and let it sit undisturbed for about 5 minutes to allow it to fully absorb the liquid and become tender.
- Fluff the couscous.: Once the couscous has absorbed the liquid, use a fork to fluff it up, breaking up any clumps for a light and airy texture.
- Adjust seasoning.: Feel free to adjust the amount of black pepper and lemon juice to suit your taste preferences.
- Add herbs.: Consider adding fresh chopped parsley or mint for an extra layer of flavor and a burst of freshness.
