I thought the flavors in this were great! I will cut back on the cayenne pepper next time. I used 1/4 teaspoon because we usually love the heat but felt that it overpowered the other lovely flavors in this dish. Can't go wrong with more scallions either! -
We really enjoyed this couscous I made as per recipe and the zinger was that the DM came back for seconds (a rare event) the flavours were lovely and surprising, thank you brokenburner, made for I Recommend Tag Game and on the recommendation of nemokittyl. -
nice couscous to serve with asian meals. We had this with recipe# 352585. nice change of pace -
This was very tasty. I made the mistake of adding too much cayenne pepper - HOT! But that was my fault....very nice taste. Thanks. -
Really good and really easy! I used whole wheat coucous. I agree with Boomette and will add more green onion next time. Thanks for posting the recipe.

I am a full-time graduate student and I also work full-time, which means that I am not likely to make labor-intensive, time-consuming recipes very often! I also struggle with anorexia, and so most of the recipes I create or try are low-calorie and fat-free. I do love to bake, though, and I'm able to do that for others right now, which is nice.
I also keep kosher; that, combined with the fact that I don't really eat meat or cheese, means that most of my recipes (or recipes that I try) are non-dairy and vegetarian, or can be easily adapted to suit that.
Kitchen gadgets are a horrible weakness of mine ... it is just so much fun to try out crazy new products that sometimes I can't help myself! Limited kitchen storage space has managed to sort of curtail that little habit.
