Thanks for a recipe to try, maybe a little chicken or beef bouillon might spice it up a bit more while the vegetables are rehydrating; it’ll give the water the salty it needs before it gets the beef & couscous.
Nice video thanks. I'm surprised about the ground beef we use Thrive Life and theirs is good for a year once opened. Great for Backpacking meals though! I do a lot of meals in a jar and I'm planning to scale some down into Mylar bags for hiking type meals.
I'll have to look into that brand as it is handy stuff to have around when doing a lot of trips. It is tough trying to cut down on packaging. I have moved into just doing the dehydrated meals as the prep ahead of time is just too much otherwise.
Great suggestion. I don't usually carry a sealable container that I could cold soak in. I could get them going a bit earlier and then cook them later. For most of my trips I am only doing a couple days at most so I am not too constrained on fuel. I think this whole meal could probably be cold soaked but not sure it would taste as good. I think there is something about a hot meal while backpacking.
Break meal idea, friend. Cheers.
Lovely Video! Thanks for sharing with us. Can't wait to see more 😍
Thanks for the comment. Hope you find it useful. Trying to do more videos as I am learning and getting better at it.
I never thought couscous could be so good and so versatile! Kind of like rice but way better, lighter and less fuel hungry!
Thank you for the demo.
Your welcome! Hope it is helpful.

Excellent suggestion to add some bullion.
Thanks for making the video.

Just to want to say thank you, there's not much resources about couscous
i guess we can also add a bit of a stock cube for added fats and flavoring
Cold soak the vegs earlier in jar, then prepare the rest of the meal, save some fuel.

Put the lid on
I do use the lid when I am making it. This is a demo at home and makes it easier to see what it looks like.
