This was a simple side dish for our grilled meal. The scallions add fresh flavor to the couscous. I used a tri-color couscous and may rework the ratio of water to pasta in the future.

First time I've ever had couscous and I quite enjoyed it. I also added some dice red peppers and shallots and green onions. The technique for cooking was great. Thanks
