Comment préparer Mexican Couscous

Bring 1 1/2 cups of water to a boil in a medium saucepan.
Stir in 1 cup of couscous and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
Remove from heat, cover, and let stand for 5 minutes, or until all the liquid is absorbed.
While the couscous is resting, prepare the zucchini: Wash and chop 1 medium zucchini into 1/2-inch thick rounds.
Steam the zucchini rounds over simmering water in a steamer basket for 5-7 minutes, or until bright green and tender.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked couscous with 1/2 cup of chopped cherry tomatoes, 1/4 cup chopped cilantro, the juice of 1/2 lime, and 1/4 teaspoon of cumin.
Gently stir in the steamed zucchini.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve warm or cold. Garnish with extra cilantro and a lime wedge if desired.
