Good reviews from the family! I did not use the full tablespoon of red pepper flakes. Also, I finished with the lime juice as opposed to cooking it in to avoid a bitter flavor. Couscous serves the purpose but brown rice or quinoa would have been excellent choices as well. Thanks for the recipe Kim.
