Easy recipe, and was tasty, but unlike a previous reviewer, I thought it needed more cumin :) and perhaps a bit of "heat", i.e. some cayenne or chili paste. But the basic recipe is good and lends itself to additions. I subbed chicken broth for the beef broth. -
We loved this cous cous, soooo flavorful and delicious! I added some leftover cauliflower and carrots I had roasted the night before with olive oil and garlic. I served this with a roasted chicken and an arugula salad with oranges and balsamic vinaigrette. Simply wonderful, thanks so much for posting, Nasseh -
I reduced the fat by using only 1 tbs of olive oil. I used 3/4 tsp of cumin but it was overpowering. I omitted the ground coriander cause I didn't have. I thought that we would love it. But like I said it was too cumin so we like it less. Made for Photo tag
