Saut Onions and Spices
Start by heating some oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Toss in the chopped onion, bouillon cubes, curry powder, and oregano. Stir everything together, breaking up the bouillon cubes as the onion softens, which should take about 5 minutes. Once the onion is nice and tender, add the couscous and give it a good mix to coat it in the spices. Pour in the water, bring it all to a boil, then cover the pan and turn the heat down to low. Let it simmer, stirring now and then, until the couscous is tender and has absorbed most of the liquid, around 8 to 10 minutes. Once it’s cooked, fluff it up with a fork and it’s ready to serve.

Storage Tips
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently with a splash of water or broth to keep the couscous moist and fluffy.
