No-cook steeped couscous
Boiling water and a lid; the burner is used for ninety seconds only.
This is the base recipe: one batch, 6 portions. Nothing has been scaled, because there is no committed plan for this dish. Build and commit a plan that includes it and this card multiplies itself to the batch count the plan computes.
- Couscous14.8 oz
- Stock cube2 ea
- Sultana2.1 oz
Multiplying the ingredients is the easy half. These are the parts of the recipe that the batch count does not move.
- Cooking time
- About 3 minutes on the stove at this scale. Bringing a bigger volume up to temperature takes longer than the multiple suggests; the simmer afterwards does not.
- Seasoning
- Seasoning figures are a starting point at any batch size. Taste before it reaches the table — the multiple is arithmetic, and salt is not.
Does not need to be hot, which is a burner and a worry back.

- Read the whole method before you shop. This is a planning recipe for no-cook steeped couscous, not a certified kitchen test.
- Amounts below are one batch: 6 portions. Build a plan and this card scales itself to it.
- This can be made up to 1 day ahead. It does not take a fridge shelf while it waits.
- Stovetop occupancy is about 3 minutes at this scale. Bring to a simmer, finish, hold covered.
- Holds about 90 minutes once finished. After that, quality drops — do not invent extra time.
- Confirm every ingredient and every allergen yourself. Dietary tags are planning filters, not safety guarantees.

Base recipe: one batch, 6 portions. Nothing has been scaled, because no plan was open. Cooking time does not move with the batch: about 3 minutes at the stove either way.
Not every line here was multiplied by the same number. Why doubling a recipe is not multiplication
