This is the first couscous I've had that I truly enjoyed. This had more flavor than most. I'll definitely make it again and... again.Read more

Couscous on the bland side
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

The couscous was a bit on the bland side. I would try cooking it with orange juice or apricot juice to intensive the taste. ... This dish would be ideal with a meat dish that has a distinct flavor and you do not want it to be overtaken by the favor of the starch. Good dish to accompany: Chicken Tangine and lemon preserves dish (Food 911).Read more

very easy & delicious. But I found it a bit dry - Note to self: Serve with a dish with lots of gravy/sauce next time.
