PREPARATION

Add 1 cup water, cover, and simmer on low for about 7-8 minutes.

Meanwhile, drain the olives. Slice, if necessary.

When couscous is done, it will be tender, but not mushy. Drain off any excess water.

Combine couscous with olives and parsley.

Taste and add salt and pepper as needed.
