Ingredients

Servings
  • cup couscous uncooked, see recipe notes
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup water
  • ounce tuna packet
  • mayonnaise 1-2 individual size packets
  • relish 1-2 individual size packets

Instructions

  1. While packing for your trip, add the couscous and salt to a ziplock bag.  Write the cooking instructions on the bag in permanent marker.
  2. Before cooking, find a level area on the ground to cook on.  Avoid using your stove on a raised surface (like on a picnic table), because you risk burning yourself if the pot falls off the stove.
  3. Pour ½ cup water into your pot, and bring to a boil.  Add couscous, remove pot from heat, and cover for 5 minutes.  After 5 minutes, remove the lid and fluff couscous with a fork.  Pour onto your plate.
  4. Add tuna and desired amount of mayonnaise and relish to your plate, and use your fork or spoon to combine your ingredients.  Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Note: If multiplying this recipe, follow the couscous package directions for the couscous to water ratio.
