Couscous With Peas and Parmesan
"A simple, easy side dish. Perfect with fish or chicken. Cooks super fast.... note: After reading that this was coming out dry, I remade it to see what was wrong. I think it should be solved by increasing the broth to 1 and a half cups or even just 1 and one fourth. You can also add a little more broth after you remove it from heat and adjust to your taste."

This was pretty good. I used 1 can (1 1/2 C)of Swanson broth to 1 C of couscous and it was a bit wet. I added sauteed mushrooms but forgot to add onions to make a pilaf with this recipe. I found the whole thing a bit bland, but that could be from using Kraft parmesan rather than fresh. -

I found this was a great recipe, it was a bit dry but I just put butter on it. I am a vegetarian and I subbed the chicken broth with vegetable broth it was yummy :) -
This was good but was very dry. Next time I will double the chicken broth. Made for Fall PAC 2007.

This dish was good...a little dry, but that was probably due to something I did. My 2 year old ate it, so anything that can get her to eat a green vegetable gets at least 4 starts! Definitely worth trying.

i'm an avid gardener who has become a dedicated home cook. i love nothing more than growing food and then cooking it in my kitchen. i try to make dinner from scratch atleast five nights a week. when my garden isn't producing too much, i order a box of seasonal organic produce and try to think of things to make with all the yummy food i get.
