Trail Cooking

This is one of our "recipe re-do's" gleaned. The original recipe called for:
A 'box of couscous', which isn't overly helpful as couscous comes in boxes ranging from 7 to 16 ounces! We dialed in what would serve 2. The 1 cup equals a shy 7 ounces weighed.

Olive oil - the recipe doesn't need it with the dressing and we figured how much dressing as well works.

An extended sit time of nearly 24 hours - couscous rehydrates in 30 minutes or less, no reason to risk food poisoning! If in very cold temperatures you will want to consider using warm water (if in winter, in the snow for example). You can also make this a warm meal by all means, using warm water and letting sit for 15 minutes, then proceeding.

We used a Sesame Asian dressing but you can use anything that sounds good - you will want a shelf stable packet of about 1 1/2 ounces or 3 Tbsp worth. See here for a good selection:
