A few quick notes

1. Keep the lid step in mind

Have the lid or covering ready before you need it. Follow the covered and uncovered parts of the method in their own order, especially when the finish changes partway through.

2. Set out the first ingredients

Look through the first cooking step and have its ingredients ready before you begin. It is easier to give the pan your attention when you are not still looking for the next item.

3. Set out the finishing ingredient

Keep the finishing ingredient within reach while the main preparation is going on. Add it at the step in the method so the last job is easy to complete.

A few questions you might have

What should I get ready before starting?

Read the first preparation step before you get going: Combine couscous and boiling water in a bowl, cover with cling wrap and set aside for 5 minutes.

Which little step is worth remembering?

Have the lid or covering ready before you need it. Follow the covered and uncovered parts of the method in their own order, especially when the finish changes partway through.

What check should I look for as it cooks?

Keep this part of the method in view: Stir and cook the vegetables until charred and just cooked through.

Is there another preparation step to plan for?

Read the pan-heating step before beginning. Have the ingredients for that stage ready, then follow the heat and additions in the recipe’s order.
