  1. I used preserved lemon in this dish & left out the pine nuts. Very simple to make & tasty too. Made for ZWT 6- No-Nonsense Nibblers
     
  2. This was really good. I'm not usually a big fan of couscous, but really enjoyed the pine nuts in it. The chicken and sauce had lots of yummy flavor. Thanks Ice Cool Kitty for sharing. Made by an Unruly Under the Influence for ZWT6.
