Imagine my horror when I discovered I had no rosemary! (It's in the title - you'd think I'd have made sure to have it on hand!) Anyway, I made as directed but sub'd lemon pepper for the rosemary, and I also sub'd chicken broth for water. The flavors actually turned out great! And it paired very well with my tilapia. The recipe would have more stars, but I had issues with the timing. When I took the lid off the pot, the couscous was far from being finished. I ended up putting it back over the stove, and stirring over med heat for another 20 minutes, adding more broth when needed. Unfortunately, that meant that my cooked tilapia sat for another 20 minutes as well...
