I made this yummy side tonight to go with the Phenomenal Chicken Tagine. My only change was I added garlic salt instead of salt just because I love garlic and for a little added flavor. I was hesitant to add mint to a savory dish but we loved it! I especially love how quickly this comes together. Definitely a keeper and quick side dish.

Great recipe! I had almost all of the ingredients on hand (even the mint from my garden. It comes together so fast and unlike some other couscous recipes, has a lot of flavor. I like how Melissa put the peas in before the couscous and how they then cooked up so easily with the couscous. I have not been disappointed with any of Melissa's recipes - she brings me new recipes that aren't too expensive that end up becoming family favorites.
