Very solid side dish - something different. Served it with fish. I left out the apricot due to my husband's preference, but still really enjoyed the dish!

This was wonderful! My husband and I both loved it. I served it with grilled chicken on top. I just added lemon juice to my plain olive oil and it came out well.

to laurey-38....you can probably substitute pignoli nuts or walnuts. Or use soy nuts. They would be a great addition as well. Hope it helps and you try the receipe. I did and loved it.

Fantastic! I used Trader Joe's Harvest Grains Blend which is mostly Israeli Couscous, but also has some baby garbanzo beans, red quinoa and orzo. Thanks for the tips on using lemon zest with olive oil. Worked perfectly. I accompanied this with shrimp and tomatoes sauteed in lemon zest and olive oil and then crumbled feta on the shrimp. Everything was so yummy. Will definitely be making this again! The Harvest Grains Blend are a million times better this way! Toasting is the way to go.

Where do you get Turkish apricots? How are they different from "reg" apricots?

Didn't want to spend extra money on couscous so I made it with white rice and it was fantastic. I microwaved grated lime rind(didn't have lemon with the oil for 1 minute until it got to the simmering point and then let it steep for a while. This was a delicious and beautiful dish. Everyone loved it and my son's middle-eastern girlfriend said it tasted just like her mom's rice -- which was a great compliment!

Nice, quick week night side dish. I just used lemon juice and olive oil to toast couscous and pistachios. The olive oil and lemon drizzle at the end gives it a real boost. Trader joes has israeli couscous..this would be great with roasted veggies as well. My fave greek resto i. Nyc makes it with roasted eggolant, zucchini, peppers.
