Couscous
Boil the kettle. Place the Couscous in a bowl with 75ml of boiling water. Stir through a drizzle of olive oil. Cover and steam until rehydrated, 5-8 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
Ostrich

In the final 1-2 minutes, baste with a knob of butter. Remove from the pan and set aside to rest for 5 minutes before slicing and seasoning.
