Spicy Meatballs and Couscous

Submitted by GreenEyed Precious

"This title is a bit misleading--I don't find the dish to be very spicy, but some people do, hence the warning label. I made it up one night when I had fifteen minutes to get dinner on the table--I juggled my pots and had it ready in twelve! Don't worry if it sounds like it needs more herbs or spices, it is tasty as is. The peanuts are a South African thing to add--try it at least once."

This was really easy and tasted great. I don't really like couscous, but some was given to us and this was a tasty way to use it.

This worked better as a side dish for the Honey Pepper Porkchops.
