Loved this! Omitted the pine nuts and increased the garlic. Also, had to use regular mushrooms. LOVED the flavor. Will add more oregano next time because I couldn't really taste it here! Wonderful!

Nice mild couscous recipe. We had this with some bbq chicken for dinner. I halved the recipe for 2 and we had plenty of leftovers. I would say this would serve 8 easily. I used Fat Free Feta cheese to lower its fat content. i think though next time I will double the oregano since it is my favorite spice. All in all, easy and good :).
