Step 1

Let the dried mushrooms soak in water overnight (at least 3 hours). Don´t throw the water away afterwards because it´ll be needed in a sauce.

Step 2

Put butter and oil in a pan, fry the onion, and finish with sprinkling flour. After creating a compact mixture, add a little bit of milk, mushrooms and mushroom water.

Step 3

Cook for 15 minutes. The sauce should not be too thin. Add seasoning and heavy cream.

Step 4

In a pot bring 500 ml water with a spoon of salt and a spoon of oil to boil. Afterwards, put it aside and put 250 g couscous inside and let it be there for 5 minutes. Divide with a fork.

Step 5

Pour the sauce inside and finish with grated parmesan and some butter on top. Enjoy!
