Whole-Wheat Couscous with Parmesan & Peas

From EatingWell: December 2005/January 2006

Couscous, which is actually a type of tiny pasta, makes an almost-instant side dish. Happily, the whole-wheat variety is just as fast to prepare as regular couscous. Lemon zest is a delicious accent to nutty Parmesan in this Italian-inspired couscous.

Not my favorite way to spice up couscous

I was hoping that the parmesan cheese would be the main flavor of this dish, maybe a little less lemon and dill and something different. It needed a more salty ingredient or something.

Pros: Not bland like normal couscous, very nutritious/healthy

wonderful

This was a really nice change up from just regular couscous, plus it was healthy and filling.

AMAZING!!!

This dish is incredible!! I've made it twice already! I used Stelline pasta (tiny star shaped pastas) instead of couscous. It turned out perfect. Even my husband who is not very keen on healthy dishes loved it! Tonight I am making this same dish except I'm doing it stuffed pepper style! Yum, can't wait!!!

Pros: Easy, quick, healthy and yummy!

Great recipe!

This recipe is delicious -- it took very little effort to make and was done in less than 10 minutes. I bought a huge jar of whole-wheat couscous and I have been finding all kinds of easy recipes to make with it -- it cooks fast, and it's good for you! I also found sodium-free chicken boullion which I mix with hot water and use in place of canned chicken broth, so it adds delicious flavor but no sodium to this recipe.

Pros: Quick, easy, delicious

Absolutely WONDERFUL! Having only discovered couscous in the last year or so, I am a BIG fan of this unique ingredient. And pairing it with lemon? GREAT! Served this recipe tonight with a dry-aged t-bone steak, using the tri-color couscous, and the pairing worked very well. I'll be looking for more couscous recipes to try!
