Check the instructions on your couscous package for liquid to dry proportions. Most use 2-1, but some are different. Also check to see whether you need to cook your couscous in the liquid or if it is truly instant.

1 cup couscous
2 cups vegetable broth
1/2 medium red onion, minced
1 lemon
Handful fresh Basil chiffonade
Salt & Pepper
Olive Oil

Place minced onion and vegetable broth in a saucepan and bring to a boil
Place instant couscous in a serving dish
When broth has boiled, pour over couscous and cover with plastic wrap
Let stand about 5 minutes, then remove cover and fluff with a fork
Add the juice of 1 lemon, salt & Pepper, basil chiffonade and olive oil to taste
