I discovered cous cous back in college. It is a fairly inexpensive meal that fills for a whole afternoon, very tasty and can adapt to anything.
>Fill a soup plate with about 2/3 of what you'd like it to be
>Add hot water, enough to just about cover it
>By the two or three minute mark, add maybe a teaspoon of butter (eyeball it so it'd be 'loose' but not 'greasy'), remove it with a fork to get rid of the clumps.
>Add salt and pepper

That's the basic one. I personally add cumin powder and dried thyme (less than an euro per whole bottle), then some veggies (potato, carrot, onion, zucchini) very lightly pan fried, just enough to get rid of the raw taste. Maybe some chicken, maybe weiners, maybe worcestershire sauce, it really depends on you!

Sometimes I even add the couscous to the pan, let it fry along whitt the veggies.

Hope this helps, anons, back then it was less than 1.5 euros per meal. Nowadays with inflation is a bit more.
