    This is my "Go To" cous cous dish and I get asked for the recipe all the time. I use a whole wheat cous cous, and prepare it slightly different than the recipe calls for (according to the box directions, but everything else is spot on. Thanks :-

    I've made this recipe several times as the side for Danny's lamb stew. It is very good, albeit a bit time consuming with all the zesting.
    This time I switched it up a bit. I used Israeli Couscous which is larger than regular couscous and I also toasted the almonds. I also added a bit more orange - used a splash of orange juice along with the fresh juice beacuse the orange flavor was a bit lost. Loved it!! The toasted almonds brought in a great flavor and the texture of the larger couscous gave it more substance. It was also very eye appealing. Great side dish - add some chicken or fish or it can stand alone with a salad!
