Are these canned or dried garbanzo beans? If I use dried should I use more water?

Wonderful flavor in this dish. The marinade is delicious! I did sub agave nectar for the honey (thought I had honey but was out!). The meat was delicious and the couscous with some of the marinade cooked in had a wonderful taste. Very easy to prepare. I mixed up the marinade in the morning and marinated the meat all day. Dinner was ready in about 15 minutes. Thanks for sharing this yummy recipe! -
Excellent flavor and so easy. I did double the couscous, but I had a little more beef, but I needed more marinade then. No problem, same recipe. I did marinate about 10 hours, all day and it could of gone overnight, but mine was thick. A thinner skirt steak or flank you could marinade much quicker. Regardless, great flavor. The couscous is so easy the meal cooked up in just minutes. If was so good I just served with some fresh fruit and yogurt mint sauce. The couscous I loved with the beans and fresh flavors, a nice texture and the fresh parsley was a nice compliment to it. Nice to find such a great flavorful dish that went together so easily and worked so well together. Thx Excellent Dish, on my list to make again. Kim -
Oh man!!! I made a pig of myself with this!!! I'm not a big beef eater, but I kept going back for just a little more! I used flap meat cuz it was on sale, and I grilled it really quickly. Oh the flavor of the caramelized edges!!! Love it!! Put a bit of couscous with a bit of meat on your fork and pure heaven!! Made for ZWT 6 and the Looney Spoon Phoodies. -
made this last night for dinner and it was a hit! there is enough marinade and couscous to extend the amount of flank steak - next time i will use 1 1/2 lbs. definitely a keeper! thanks for a great recipe! -
I made only the marinade from this recipe - it turned out fantastic and was a hit with everyone. Marinated over night, through the steaks in a pan and added the remaining marinade towards the end. Diluted slightly the reduced marinade with some left-over wine and drizzled over the steak. This is a keeper. Thanks for sharing!
