I didn't use whole wheat couscous as others did and perhaps should have as I was not fond of this. I found the basil overpowering. -
As did other reviewers, I chose whole wheat couscous. Rather than water and bouillon, I used 2 cups of low sodium, fat-free chicken broth and omitted the butter. I often add sauteed veggies to couscous but never thought to add dried herbs to intensify the flavor. Served with Recipe #102572 this was a wonderful and healthier side dish! Thanks for posting! -
I had problems because I was using a larger couscous and it did not cook in the specified time. (That was definitely operator error and not the fault of the recipe!) But so I ended up eating this heated up later. I left off the butter. We felt it had decent flavor and was a nice basic side dish. Reheated it is not as flavorful as you would expect, but was still good. -
I also used whole wheat couscous and omitted the butter for a great dinner side. Very easy (as couscous always is) and full flavored. I paired it with baked salmon that I had covered in Recipe #230030. The veggies were steamed broccoli and carrots. The seasonings in this recipe are strong flavor but basic and I think that this would go well with any meat. -
I made this using whole wheat couscous that I purchase in bulk at my local health food store. This dish was very easy to complete and went well with Recipe #163379.
