loving the texture of Israeli couscous (and the smell of coconut milk)

I have never been the biggest fan of couscous, but have seen Israeli couscous used on tv, and have been intrigued by what I imagined the texture to be like. I was not mistaken. Israeli couscous has the texture of tapioca, slightly slippery in the mouth, with just the right amount of firmness. Completely satisfying, and a perfect side to absorb the delicious coconut milk sauce.
