1 1/4 cups water |
2 garlic cloves |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
Directions:
1. Squeeze the juice of the grapefruit and place in large measuring cup.
2. boil the water and add to grapefruit with mint and oil and garlic.
3. Place cous cous in large enough wide pot with a cover.
4. once the mint has steaped for a minute or two (remove mint and chop) place the water/grapefruit/oil/mint/garlic mixture in pot with couscous.
5. with a fork fluff quickly mixing completely and cover for a 2 minutes and fluff again/cover 1 minute.
