I thought the flavors in this were great! I will cut back on the cayenne pepper next time. I used 1/4 teaspoon because we usually love the heat but felt that it overpowered the other lovely flavors in this dish. Can't go wrong with more scallions either!

We really enjoyed this couscous I made as per recipe and the zinger was that the DM came back for seconds (a rare event) the flavours were lovely and surprising, thank you brokenburner, made for I Recommend Tag Game and on the recommendation of nemokittyl.

This was very tasty. I made the mistake of adding too much cayenne pepper - HOT! But that was my fault....very nice taste. Thanks.

Really good and really easy! I used whole wheat coucous. I agree with Boomette and will add more green onion next time. Thanks for posting the recipe.
