    • Reviews

  • “Fabulous!Left the beans out but served them beside the couscous so the adults could “mix and mingle” them together on their plates.Even my picky 4 and 7 year old sons loved this dish.Will definitely make again.Thanks for posting!”

  • “This is not my favorite way to eat couscous. Although I love all of the ingredients, the combination lacked something for me. It wasn’t bad, it’s just not something I’d likely make again.”

  • “I loved this recipe. I just tweaked it a bit with adding some garlic, yellow onions, kosher salt & pepper. Also, in the picture I’m gonna try to upload, I hadn’t put any cheese on it yet.”

  • “hmm.. i dont exactly agree with the last review, because I tried it and it wasn’t the least bit dry, and it tasted great!I added a teeny bit of salt to it and used homemade veggie broth instead, and it was really tasty!”

  • “This was a very easy recipe to follow but it lacked flavor and was dry.”
