Cook the Couscous: Once boiling, stir in the couscous, butter, and salt. Remove the saucepan from heat, cover, and let it stand for approximately 5 minutes to allow the couscous to absorb the liquid and become tender.
-
Prepare the Topping: While the couscous is resting, heat olive oil in a shallow pan over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook until it starts to brown, infusing the oil with its rich flavor.
-
Add Flavor: Sprinkle in dried thyme leaves, paprika, and black pepper. Stir well, allowing the spices to toast and release their aromatic essence for about 30 seconds. Remove the pan from heat.
-
Combine and Serve: Pour the aromatic garlic and spice mixture over the cooked couscous, ensuring an even distribution of flavors. Alternatively, if you prefer a shortcut, you can use ready-made roasted garlic olive oil and simply add the thyme and pepper to it.
-
Serve: Mix well to combine all the ingredients, and serve the Roasted Garlic and Olive Oil Couscous immediately.
