I had this with rack of lamb and it was a great combination. The currants and pine nuts added a nice touch. My fiance said that I should have added more pine nuts and currants. Maybe next time or I may even sub the currants with dried cranberries.

I really liked this, however when I make it again I will add a bit more pine nuts and currants. Other than that, it was pretty doggone tasty!

this couscous was amazing! very similar to a Mediterranean couscous ive made with apricots and scallions. due to the fact that pine nuts are soooo expensive i used a packet of near east toasted pine nut and just added some more couscous because theres only a cup of couscous in the packet. i also garnished with cashews to get that crunch. raisins would be great with this instead of currants as well. thanks Ina!! definitely a go to side when you dont know what to make :-

i made this as a dish for a large buffet spread.
didn't have any currants so i used craisins. it was great

you could also subtitute chopped apricots and
slivered almonds. easy and inexpensive as a side for feeding
a family or a crowd.

Make the recipe to the letter and you will have a hit on your hands. I make this a lot for parties...perfect, especially since it can be served at room temperature. People that I have had over for dinner who said they do not like couscous have asked for the recipe. The currants are perfect in this.

I made this recipe exactly as written and served it with assorted kebabs on top. The couscous was flavorful and really easy to make. Our guests even asked for the recipe! Definitely a great side dish.

I saw Ina make this on her show and was left drooling. It certainly did not disappoint!! Every ingredient, from the butter to the parsley, just shines! I substituted raisins for currants and it was still delightful. Seriously...I'm obsessed with this couscous. Plus it was so easy to make!
