- In medium saucepan, heat olive oil and sauté onions and garlic until soft but not browned. In another saucepan, bring to boil 2 quarts water. Add couscous and cook for 5 minutes, then drain. Add stock and drained couscous to onion mixture. Bring to boil and then reduce heat to simmer and cook for 20-25 minutes, stirring regularly.
