  1. Here is how I prepare this: Dice some yellow or white onion and stir fry it in a pan with the olive oil, garlic, and the rest of the veggies (I use whatever veggies I have in my fridge I need to use up). Then add the broth, tomatoes, and spices and bring to a boil. Then add the couscous and the kidney beans and let it sit until the couscous is ready. Sprinkle with a little cheese (cheddar is good) and serve. This is awesome for camping.
     
  2. This was so delicious. I sauteed the vegetables in the olive oil and then added to the dish. Wonderful when hot, haven't tried it cold yet but I bet it is good. Very easy and spicy flavor. Thanks Nurse Di.
     
  3. I thought this side dish was tasty, however my husband didn't care for the couscous. I forwarded the recipe to a friend whom I think will enjoy it also. Thanks!
     
  4. Made this as a side dish to some catfish I had in the freezer. I sauteed the veggies in EVOO first, then added the seasonings, tomatoes, and chicken broth. let that sit for a while before adding the couscous as the fish wasn't quite ready. We all enjoyed this "different" side dish. A definite keeper and will make again.
     
  5. Made this recipe last night for a potluck dinner. Wonderful flavors. Am hoping there will be leftovers to take home! Didn't have kidney beans so made it with black beans. A definite do again!

  1. This was really good. I made it like the recipe said and it was really good, though I used Pinto Beans instead of red beans and chives instead of scallions. I would suggest a little less salt next time though.
