This is simply delicious!!! Would rate it 10 stars if I could. This was served at a recent woman's confrence I attended with over 100 ladies present from 3 states and all you heard was "where can I get this recipie?" I made it with tri color couscous and used all dried cranberries and no raisins. I live alone and it held well for 5 days, I had it at just about every meal. Many people at that confrence commented on how they had never liked couscous but loved it this way. The hot sauce (I prefer Frank's, but others loved it with the Texas Pete's) did add a great zing. A keeper that has been passed along, thank you for a healthy alternative that was a welcome change of pace.
