Basic Cuscuz Recipe

Sift the semolina into a deep dish

Moisten the grains with 350 ml of cold water and salt

Let it rest for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally with your hands

Place a good amount of water to boil in the lower part of the steamer

Transfer the semolina to the upper part of the steamer (if the holes are too large, line the pan with a clean kitchen towel), cover and let cook over steam for about 15 minutes

Sift the semolina into a dish and sprinkle the grains with a cup of cold water

Mix with your hands to dissolve any lumps

Let it rest for 10 minutes and mix again

Before serving, warm the semolina for another 10 minutes in the steamer

Sift it onto a plate and, always using your hands, incorporate the butter

If you don't have a steamer, it's possible to proceed similarly with any cooking pot.
