It was superb! Easy tasty good presentation. I think the poor review by EatingWell User must be about using the wrong couscous. PEARL couscous is much different that cut couscous.
Quick delicious good contrasting flavor and texture Loved this recipe. Nice presentation on the plate with the various colors and textures. Served it with steamed broccoli (fresh from my garden) and preserved dilly beans and made a complete meal that was satisfying. I like the one pot meal and the pistachios added some nice flavor and chewiness. I will make this again. Pros: One dish quick
I only had salted pistachios so I left out the salt for the couscous. Other than that followed recipe exactly. It was delicious. Everything tasted awesome and the whole family ate it.
Fast and Delicious Super easy and fast. I added a dash of Cayenne pepper and replaced parsley with cilantro for a twist.
Fabulous. Whole family loved it. Super easy to make.
Bad method; poor instructions; incorrect quantities Following the instructions in this recipe resulted in cous-cous that was hard and dry in the middle. The problem with this recipe is that the method is wrong. Frying the cous-cous in oil before adding the liquid seals the outside of each grain of pasta and makes it much more difficult for it to absorb the cooking liquid. For this recipe to work properly the cous-cous should be par-boiled FIRST and THEN sauteed in the oil with the vegetables. Alternatively the amount of cooking liquid should be increased to a 2:1 ratio (2 cups liquid for each cup cous-cous) and the cooking time increased to approximately 20 minutes. As it stands this recipe is a serious loser. If you don't know enough about cooking to spot the faults in it don't try it. You will be disappointed. Pros: Flavour accectable Cons: Texture very poor
love it This one is in the rotation. Quick easy d-lish fish!
Made it just as the recipe states. Tasted great. My stove burner is a little tilted so some of the couscous was sticking to the pan while the other was more moist. Still tasted good though.
