We had leftover couscous that we wanted to use, and this was great for it! I used half the couscous, I used four fresh tomatoes instead of canned, and I didn't have the peppers/capsicum, but it was still delicious. We also added a dash of salt and some freshly ground pepper. Thanks for posting this recipe.
