This did not work for me, the sauce thickened and the couscous dried up too fast. Maybe it has a lot to do with the fact I am not used to cooking with couscous and didn't really know the consistency of it. The flavours were nice though....

Very easy to make and delicious, a new family favorite! I used a roasted red pepper and a whole 14 oz. can of chicken broth. Made for ZWT6 Family Picks.

Very interesting and tasty couscous! I don't care for onion so left it out, otherwise made as specified. This has a really rich flavor that I think needs to be served with something spicy - I served with recipe #422400 and it was a perfect balance. Thanks for sharing your recipe!

Nice recipe! The green pepper wasn't listed in the ingredients so I had to skip them. It was easy to make and had a very powerful peanut butter taste. Thanks for sharing. Made for ZWT 6.
