Instant Pot Vegetable Couscous

A quick and delicious vegetarian dish for a summer lunch or a picnic. You can also taste it cool, as an original salad and side dish.

Try to use vegetable broth instead of water, or add some fresh herbs to water, so that you obtain a different aroma in your couscous. You can also use rice instead.
