Notes
Storing and Reheating To store any leftover garlicky Israeli couscous, place it in an airtight container or ziplock bag and refrigerate for up to 3 days. When you want to reheat it, place the couscous in a microwave-safe bowl and add 2-3 tablespoons of water for each cup of couscous (or more as needed) to keep it from drying out as you warm it.
