2 tablespoons of olive oil

- If using sardines in oil, drain the oil from the can and add the sardines to the pan.
Sauté for a few more minutes. - Add the hydrated flakes to the pan and stir well to incorporate all the ingredients.
Add the hot water little by little, stirring constantly, until the mixture is moist and cooked. - Be careful not to add too much water and make the couscous too mushy.

- Remove the pan from the heat and let it sit for a few minutes to firm up.
- Unmold the couscous onto a large plate and garnish with chopped parsley on top.
