See Dehydrating Meat and Dehydrating Vegetables for drying instructions.

On the Trail:

Place all ingredients except seasoning mix in pot with water and soak five minutes. Couscous absorbs more water than other pastas, so this recipe calls for 1 ¼ cups of water.

Light stove, bring to boil, and continue cooking for one minute. In the last minute or two of cooking, you should give the couscous a stir and watch to make sure that the couscous doesn’t stick to the bottom of the pot and burn.

Remove pot from stove, stir in seasoning mix, replace lid, and place pot in insulating cozy for ten minutes.
