- 1 teaspoon bouillon powder
- ½ teaspoon thyme
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 Tomato diced
- ½ cup red bell pepper
- ½ cup green bell pepper
- 1½ cup water
- 1 cup couscous

Instructions
- Heat the oil on medium heat. Add the onion and cook till softened—about 3 minutes.
- Add the ground beef and break it apart—season with paprika, bouillon powder, thyme, salt, and black pepper.
- Stir in the diced tomato, red bell peppers, and green bell peppers—Cook for 3 to 5 more minutes.
- Add the water and let it come to a rolling boil. Adjust the seasoning if necessary.
- Turn off the heat and stir in the couscous immediately. Cover it up for 5 minutes.
- Remove the lid, fluff with a fork, and stir in the basil.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- Be aware of the liquid to couscous ratio. If there is too much water, the couscous will be soggy. Not enough water, and it will be gritty and unpleasant. No need to boil the couscous; just add the couscous to boiled water or stock, and leave to sit for 5 minutes
