Nice recipe. Orange zest dresses it up. I did add juice at end as I wanted to taste orange. Huge recipe. Served with recipe#294925 and recipe#497219 -
Really enjoyed this delicately scented couscous, good flavour too. Thank you, Ellie, made for ZWT9, Pink Panthers -
Ridiculously easy and very tasty! Great side for a roasted chicken. Made for ZWT 9. -
Loved it! The flavor was spot on - very subtle, but definitely orangey. And so simple to make! Followed the directions exactly as written - boil, stand, fluff. We used Israeli Couscous from Trader Joe's. Excellent! I did end up squeezing the last drops of the orange over the finished couscous and it was delicious! Gourmet Goddesses, ZWT9. -
I made this using a tri-colored couscous that I had, so I measured out 10 ozs of couscous and using the rest of the portions as stated, I followed the directions on the couscous package (simmered for 10 minutes). I did not add any additional orange juice. Very nice side dish! Made for ZWT9 and "The Apron String Travelers"

<p>I love cooking and trying different foods, but my favorite cookbooks are now Weight Watchers or low fat/low cal cookbooks as I tend to try and make low fat/low cal recipes. I lost over 90 pounds on Weight Watchers and have maintained for over a year now -- so my cooking/eating habits have changed drastically following my weight loss and to keep it off!</p>
