Preparation and Usage

  • Easy to prepare
  • For best results, gently fry 100g of giant couscous in olive oil for 2-3 mins, until golden. Add 200ml of cold water to the pan and stir until it's all absorbed. Gradually add more water, until the couscous is soft and ready to serve (around 16 mins). In a rush? Empty the couscous into a pan of boiling stock. Simmer for 6-8 mins, drain and serve.
  • Get creative
  • For an alternative risotto: cook the giant couscous in stock with some seasonal green veg. Stir in a dollop of pesto and top with grated parmesan. You can also infuse this couscous with fresh thyme and lemon for a delicious side dish, or use it as a base for a speedy salad.

Amazing stuff - please keep it in production!

5 stars

A Tesco Customer21st January 2023

To answer the other reviewer - I certainly do. I love this as a healthy alternative to pasta/risotto/paella. Well healthyish as I fry up some vegan bacon lardons (or other healthy protein), cook the couscous with vegetable stock and add cumin, onion, kale and other seasonal greens, cherry tomatoes, soy cream, white pepper, little garlic and turmeric and chilli flakes as I like a really punchy flavour. But it's just so versatile! If it's overcooked it will go mushy like literally anything.. I treat it more like risotto rice than couscous when cooking and stop when it's still al dente.

Great time saver

A Tesco Customer9th October 2022

Used this to make a basic Mediterranean couscous salad- everyone loved it. And it takes out all the hassle of having to cook it yourself.

How is it still in production!!

A Tesco Customer28th January 2022

One of the worst things I’ve ever tried… awful texture, terrible smell and the taste!!!! Genuinely tasted like pulped cardboard with a smattering of varnish!!!! It wasn’t edible… stick to the standard much cheaper! & delicious cous cous and don’t waste your money on this!!!!! I wonder who actually eats this stuff!!!!!!!

Delicious

A Tesco Customer30th November 2021

Absolutely delicious, we had this for dinner tonight with baked ratatouille. Will definitely be buying this again as I prefer it to the white Pearl couscous.

these are not Pearl cous cous

A Tesco Customer30th July 2021

I mistakenly assumed this was the same as those beautiful giant pearly Couscous, but sadly they're not! Why don't you do Pearl couscous Tescos?? :'(
