Made today for packing in tomorrows lunch. Had to fight off DH while it cold as he kept sneaking bites (that makes it a Carnival Couscous winner). Love all the veggies. Also thought the room temp sample was better then the hot sample. Thanks for the post.

    I omitted the squash and used sliced mushrooms and garlic with the other vegetables and sauteed them in butter which I prefer to use in cooking. I didn't have white pepper so I used freshly ground black pepper and I added some dried oregano, thyme, rosemary and sage. Very tasty couscous dish and so very versatile. I enjoyed some of this for today's take-to-work lunch and it was very good at room temperature so a good way to get some vegetables into my lunches! Made for 1-2-3 Hit Wonders.

    Couscous is such a great alternative to potatoes or rice. I subbed zucchini for the squash and mushrooms for the celery. I reduced the salt, and next time I would use plain coucous and some poutry seasoning with just a little salt. Subbed butter for the margarine. Added some minced fresh parsley. This is a great dish to make use of seasonal veggies.
