  1. This was really good! I was looking for a light supper using ingredients I have on hand and this was perfect. I had to substitute dried for fresh basil and omitted the feta, as I didn't have any on hand. Next time I may cut back a bit on the amount of couscous, as I prefer a higher ratio of beans/edamame to couscous. I liked the heat from the peppers! Thanks for a quick meal!
     
  2. Yummy! This was my second time eating couscous and my first time making it. This was so flavorful and moist, much better than the plain, dry way I had it before. The only thing I'll do differently next time is to reduce the water in step 3 to 1 cup. I used a boxed couscous that was about 3/4 c worth, and there was still quite a bit of liquid left after simmering. I used a garlic and olive oil flavored boxed couscous and I think that helped the flavor some. I used 2 tbsp of basil in a tube as the fresh basil looked nearly dead. I'll make this again! Even my picky husband liked it :)

<p>My rating system: (I don't like giving bad reviews, so if I don't like it, I'll just not review it.) <br /><br />5 Stars OMG, this is one of the most amazing things I've ever eaten! I can't stop eating it, and I've eaten myself into a food coma. <br /><br />4 Stars The recipe is wonderful as is. I can't think of a single improvement and I will most likely make it again. <br /><br />3 Stars This needed a little *something*something*. I might make it again, but will add my own improvements if I do. <br /><br />I love to eat! And I love to cook. I tend to take over the kitchen when I get in there. Even the dog knows the command get outta my kitchen! LOL. Cooking for other people and trying new recipes or foods is FUN! I have a small (but growing quickly!!) cookbook collection and one of my favorite things to do is to read recipes and plan meals. Rachael Ray, Horn of the Moon and Moosewood are favorites of mine. <br /><br />We spend a lot of time outdoors camping, hiking and backpacking. Yup. I cook in the woods too! I've made deals with my hiking buddies... If they carry in my food, I'll cook for them. I recently published a backpacking cookbook.
