🔪 Starting from raw? The basics (2)
Soaking cashews
Cover with boiling water for 15 minutes (or cold water for 2+ hours) and drain — that's all 'soaked' means. It's what makes them blend into silky cream.
Cooking pearl couscous
Toast the dry pearls in a little oil 2 minutes until golden, add 1¼ cups water per cup of couscous, cover, and simmer 10 minutes.
