  1. Delightful couscous recipe! Very light and not overpowering, great as a side to any dish. I don't care for onions so left them out. Thanks for sharing the recipe!
     
  2. Followed the recipe to the letter to serve with spicy grilled shrimp, but just wasn't impressed. Maybe it was because I fresh squeezed on orange for the juice, but it tasted far too much like orange, no lemon taste at all. Might have liked it better if I'd left out the OJ and added pine nuts. As it was, don't think I'll be saving this recipe. Oh well, there are plenty of other good recipes on GK that'll keep me coming back!
     
  3. I've been enjoying this for years as a side dish for any kind of fish prepared any way. I add freshly toasted pine nuts or sliced almonds. The parsley isn't absolutely necessary but does boost the flavor if you have it.
     
  4. This is so tasty. It took me 10 minutes to make - I didn't have parsley but it tasted great all the same. Totally recommend!
     
  5. This was really good! I served it with recipe#424382 and it was a good compliment to the spicy chicken. I love the citrus flavors and I know it will go great with fish too! Made for ZWT9 Family Pick
