Very good. Did use more vegetables.

This would also be great for brunch. Being from the South, we love our grits, and the couscous is so similar.

this looks really good, we love couscous. Will add some bullion to the boing water for added flavor.

couscous just doesn't seem to have any flavor, needs more spices.

This was incredibly easy and quick - perfect for a busy weeknight meal for my husband and I. I used pre-cooked chicken instead of ham, and added a little bit of italian seasoning in addition to the garlic. I will definitely add this to my list of good "last minute" meals.
