  1. This recipe couldn't have been in the database more than five minutes when I decided I needed to make it right there and then. I've always made my couscous with chicken broth, never even thought of using orange juice and cinnamon. Let me tell you, this is outstanding. It's got a whole 'nother flavor, and I love it. It uses ingredients that I always have in the house, I always have a few bags of couscous lying around the pantry and orange juice concentrate in the freezer. I mixed up a batch of orange juice, heated it up in the microwave and within 2 minutes had everything mixed together. The only con in the whole recipe is you have too wait about 10 minutes while the couscous absorbs the liquid. I left out the sultanas because my kids refuse to eat things with "bugs" in it. I can see this as a starch alongside some Moroccan chicken, or even as the basis for a couscous dessert. Good one Missy, I can see myself making this one often!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I'm an ex-pat NZer living in the tropical Top End of Australia. Which makes it a perfect place to make homemade bread and summer recipes all year around. I experiment on my 3 kids who have grown up trying new Zaar recipes every other day and they are thriving. I'm the lacto-ovo vegetarian in the family and somehow I got roped in to become a Forum Host here at Zaar. So check out the Vegetarian and Vegan Forum http://www.recipezaar.com/bb/viewforum.zsp?f=43 and feel free to join in whether you are a fully fledged vegan or someone who needs to cater for a vegetarian and has no idea where to start. Every year I try to do something a bit different to push the envelope a little bit. In 2005 I learned how to sail a dinghy; 2006's grand passion is mosaics. Check out my blog! Between raising three children, working almost fulltime and trying to pursue my hobbies...let's say that my time management skills have greatly improved over the years! I am also very interested in living a sustainable lifestyle. Essentially I'm finding that I'm getting back to the country lifestyle I enjoyed in my childhood even though these days I live in themiddle of suburbia. To this end I have started gardening although I am a total gardening virgin when it comes to gardening in a tropical climate. I also have a cookbook with a number of recipes you can make from scratch. Living clean and green is good for you AND cheaper!
