This was very flavorful and easy. I also added some cooked chicken breast to it to bulk it up a bit for my husband and son, but it would be delicious either way. Will add this to the dinner rotation for sure!

This is very good and easy to make! I used packaged basil flavor pearled couscous, which added even more "wow" factor to this quick recipe.

This is one of the few vegan recipes that I will share with my husband, who recently switched for health reasons. I eliminated the butter in the couscous to lower fat as well. This is a regular good-tasting dish, unlike many others.
