๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿณ Instructions (The AI's Game Plan)

๐ŸŽฏ Follow along with our AI chef's step-by-step adventure. Results may vary wildly!

  1. 1

    In a medium saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add couscous and toast, stirring frequently, until lightly golden and fragrant, about 3 minutes.

    โฑ๏ธ 3 min (ish)
    AI Wisdom: Stir constantly to prevent burning.
  2. 2

    Carefully pour in the hot vegetable broth, season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes or until all liquid is absorbed.

    โฑ๏ธ 10 min (ish)
    AI Wisdom: Avoid lifting the lid during simmering.
  3. 3

    Remove the saucepan from heat and let it sit, covered, for an additional 5 minutes. Fluff the couscous with a fork to separate the grains.

    โฑ๏ธ 5 min (ish)
    AI Wisdom: Fluffing helps to create a light and fluffy texture.
  4. 4

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked couscous, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, fresh parsley, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Drizzle with extra olive oil if desired.

    AI Wisdom: Mix gently to avoid mashing the ingredients.
  5. 5

    Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt, pepper, or lemon juice if needed. Serve the gourmet couscous salad warm or at room temperature.

    AI Wisdom: Adjust seasoning to personal preference.
