Couscous For People Who Hate Couscous - cooking recipe

Ingredients

8 -10 inches celery, finely chopped
1 small white onion, finely chopped
5 -6 mushrooms, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup couscous
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon ground rosemary
1 teaspoon ground paprika
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground chili powder (optional)
1 cup chicken stock

Preparation

Once you have chopped your vegetables and ground your spices, place the couscous in a large bowl, and add all of the ground spices.
Using a vegetable peeler, shave some butter off the block and place in the bowl.
Bring the chicken stock to a boil, and pour it over the couscous. Don't stir it. Place a plate over the bowl to cover it, and set aside.
Melt some butter in a frypan with the garlic, and add the celery and onions. Fry until the onion starts to become soft.
Add a little more butter to the frypan, and add the mushrooms. Fry for about 2 minutes over medium heat until the mushroom is soft.
Remove the cover from the bowl of couscous, and stir it gently with a fork, being careful not to mash it.
Add the contents of the frypan, and stir it through gently.
Season with salt and pepper, if desired, and serve.
