Two Seas Couscous

Take about a third of the semolina and pour it into a mixing bowl big enough to easily hold the whole 500g plus water for working the grains. Mix together with your fingers using a circular motion, starting to add the water a little at a time mixing as you go. The grains of semolina puff up as they absorb the water, and being rolled around by your fingers they start clumping together to form tiny balls. Continue mixing.
