This is one of the best couscous dishes I have had! Great combination of flavors. I made a couple of changes, though. We don't care for raisins, so I used dried cranberries, and since they are sweetened, I left out the sugar. I use a spicy curry powder, so this had a nice bite to it. And loved the crunch of the toasted almonds. Went great with a salmon filet. Made for Best of 2011 game.

What a wonderful dish. I made this as written with the golden raisins, lemon juice, and olive oil. I toasted the slivered almonds in the oven too until light brown. Only change was to use vegetable broth in place of chicken broth. Served with Recipe#344072, yogurt raita, and peach chutney. It was the perfect side dish for this meal. Thanks, weekend cooker!

Loved this great couscous! I used regular raisins instead of golden and chives instead of green onion as that's what I had on hand. The curry was great with the raisins and almonds and provided a great flavor. I did use only about half of the olive oil with the lemon juice. Thanks for sharing the recipe!

I followed the ealier reviews and omitted the oil, sugar and lemon and the couscous turned out quite bland. So no fault of the recipe which is why I am not adding any stars. I like couscous without adding oils so perhaps this recipe does need the lemon (like other reviewers have also suggested) or perhaps it is just a recipe for the people that like all the add-ins.
