For an extra layer of flavor, toast the couscous in a dry pan for a few minutes before adding the boiling water. Feel free to substitute other vegetables like zucchini, yellow bell pepper, or corn. If you don't have fresh basil, you can use 1 teaspoon of dried basil, but fresh is highly recommended. A squeeze of fresh lemon juice after baking adds a bright, tangy finish. This couscous is excellent served hot, warm, or even cold.
