This was my second attempt to prepare couscous by steaming and it went much better. I liked using a double layer of cheesecloth in the steamer. I bought the barley couscous from one of the mail order companies she listed. It was the same shape as regular couscous, but look more like grains of sand with a wide range of tan to brown color – very pretty. Each time it only steamed for 10 minutes and maybe since I was working with only a pound instead of 1 ½ pounds, it seemed to be easier to manage. However, I lost couscous stuck to the cheesecloth each time. Also couscous stuck to the cloth I covered it with before the final steaming. I loved the taste, it had such a hearty whole grain taste and it went well with the topping.
