    I agree with the other reviewer, this sounded good, but was lacking in flavor. Next time, I'll probably use chicken stock instead of water to add a bit more flavor or sautee some red or vidalia onions before adding the couscous.

    Very easy to make; but not too flaverful. Either add more cherries or scallions, and do not forget the salt, or it will taste terrible!
