  1. This was a really good dish and an awesome way to use couscous. I did make a couple of changes to the recipe: I didn't have any sun-dried tomatoes on hand, so I substituted 2 diced roma tomatoes. Also, I topped the dish with grated parmesan cheese--very nice!
     
  2. A super easy recipe that the kids can help make. It got 2.5 of 4 stars at our house, I even forgot to add the parsley! I would add a bit more salt next time and toast the almonds so that they add a little more flavor. Thanks for posting a new idea for couscous, which, until now, has become pretty bland at our house!
