If boiling over, lower heat; keep enough water to cover the pieces by 2 cm.溢锅就调小火，水保持高于食材2厘米。
Stir in the couscous, cover, and pull the pot off the heat. Kept stirring after the couscous went in: a lump of paste. Stir once, cover, and take it off the heat. That's when a fork finds separate grains.
拌入库斯库斯，盖上盖子，把锅端离火。下了库斯库斯还接着搅的，一坨面糊。拌匀就盖上离火，用叉子拨开才是一粒一粒的。
the liquid is fully absorbed and the grains are tender.液体全被吸收，颗粒变软。

Still wet: cover 2 more minutes. Still hard and dry: add 2 tbsp boiling water and cover 3 minutes.还湿就再盖2分钟；硬而干就加2大匙开水盖3分钟。
Fluff the couscous with a fork and tip it into a large bowl.
用叉子把库斯库斯拨松，倒进大碗里。
The grains are separate, with no clumps.颗粒分明，没有结块。

Rub any clumps gently between your fingertips once it is cool enough to touch.不烫手后用指尖轻搓结块。
In a small cup, whisk the lemon zest, 2 tbsp lemon juice, 1 tbsp oil, and ¼ tsp salt.
小杯里把柠檬皮屑、2大匙柠檬汁、1大匙油和¼小匙盐搅匀。
The dressing is smooth and evenly cloudy, with no lumps.汁顺滑均匀微浑，没有结团。

If thick or lumpy, stir 20 more seconds; add water 1 tsp at a time, at most 3 extra tsp. Oil separation is normal: stir again before pouring.稠或结团就再搅20秒，每次加1小匙水，最多3小匙。油水分层正常，倒前再搅。
Pour the dressing over the couscous, add the chickpeas, herbs, and scallions, and toss to coat.
把汁淋在库斯库斯上，加鹰嘴豆、香草和葱，拌匀。
Everything is evenly mixed with a thin coat of dressing, not sitting in a puddle.材料均匀地薄薄裹汁，不泡在水里。

Make it a balanced meal营养搭配建议
Serve this side next to a protein main and a grain for a balanced plate.这道配菜搭一道蛋白质主菜和一份主食，餐盘更均衡。
