Probably a stupid question about cous cous

[CaviarAndCigarettes]

We've recently found our son loves cous cous which is great as he doesn't eat bread or wraps etc and making a packed lunch was becoming a bit of a nightmare.

I've been making my own, but i wondered about the microwaveable stuff for if we are on holiday. He likes it cold (bonus!) so would we just serve the microwaveable stuff up cold and not heat it up? Or do we still need to microwave it and then let it cool?

I know this is a stupid question but I don't like the stuff and have no experience of cooking it or microwaving it or anything.

Thank you in advance

Quinoa and peanut go together very well. Try something like this onceagainnutbutter.com/recipe/quinoa-bowl-with-peanut-sauce/ My kids love this.

Search cous cous Salads in the BBC Good Food website it gives you loads of options. This is a good one as well, my sons liked it when they were little and we still name it now they’re teenagers.

@daysofpearlyspencer crackers are a no, fruity rice cakes are a yes but crikey they are costly! I don't mind them every now and then but they're certainly not in a daily pack up budget

@LadyPenelope68 thank you I will check them out!

You’ve been making your own? From scratch?
