Here are a few recipes:
1 cup couscous

1 teaspoon salt or to taste
1 to 1-1/4 cups water
1-3/4 cups black beans or 1 (15-ounce) can
1 cup corn kernels
1/2 cup red onion, finely chopped
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, minced
1 jalapeno, minced
3 tablespoons roasted garlic olive oil
3 to 4 Tbsp freshly squeezed lime juice
Instructions
Place couscous, cumin, and salt in a large heatproof bowl or storage container and pour 1 cup boiling water on top. Cover tightly and let sit until all the liquid is absorbed, about 10 minutes. If the couscous is not quite tender, add an additional 1/4 cup of boiling water, cover, and let sit for a few minutes longer. Fluff up with a fork.
Toss in the beans, corn, onion, cilantro, and jalapeno. Mix in the olive oil and enough lime juice to give the salad a puckery edge. Serve warm or at room temperature.
