1. Pour 300 g of couscous into a bowl.
2. In a pot, bring some water to boil and add some chicken stock. The amount of water will be indicated on what couscous you end up using. Squeeze in some fresh orange juice.
3. Once the stock is prepared pour it over the Couscous and let it soak up the stock.
4. Roast the almonds in a bit of butter and salt. MAke sure you don't burn them.
