Whole-Wheat Couscous Pilaf

Your rating: None Average: 4.2 (6 votes)

Whole-wheat couscous is practically an instant side dish. Fresh herbs and hot sauce add flavor with few calories.


READER'S COMMENT:
"Easier yet - if you have a hot water dispenser or a Keurig coffee machine kids can make this neat snack or side themselves. We buy whole grain couscous in a box (7.6 oz) and use the 10 oz (large setting) on the Kuerig - yes, less water...
