9 Reviews of Curried Couscous With Dried Cranberries

From: currybunny

On Oct 21, 2005

This was great couscous! Anyone who thinks couscous is bland should try this! I did make a couple of changes, but they were just for our tastes - left out the cranberries and used almonds instead of walnuts. Thanks so much for posting, we loved this!

    I agree with Fairy Nuff, this is a fabulous dish! I really enjoyed the wonderful blending of flavors and the curry was just perfect. The only substitution I made was using toasted pecans for walnuts. I did reduce the recipe to serve 2. Something I am sure to make again.

    Katie this was such a fabulous dish!!The curry, citrus juices and cranberries give excellent flavour to the cous cous and the nuts adds great texture. I made this to the recipe and will definitely be making it again!

    Absolutely scrumptious, and I halved the oil.

    Even though I didn't have any orange juice, this was delicious. In fact, I think this just might be my favorite couscous recipe. Thanks for posting!

    This is a keeper! Salty, savory, sweet and with a crunch from the walnuts. I used orange flavored craisins. It was very popular at a potluck - someone even asked "who brought the gourmet couscous dish?" It's perfect for a picnic as there's no dairy or mayo. It's good warm, room temperature, and cold.

    This was great! I dont comment all the often on the recipes I try on Recipezaar, but this was such a good way to make couscous that I am giving it five stars. The curry, cranberries and walnuts are a great blend of flavors. I used cherry flavored cranberries and whole wheat couscous.

    This is fabulous! I inadvertently left out the olive oil but it still tasted wonderful. We had it with baked chicken breasts but it would be good with pork chops, too. Thanks for sharing!

    Yum! I didn't have parsley or lemon so I used basil and the juice of one small lime. I also didn’t have a 5 7/8 box so I used 1 cup of wheat couscous with one cup of chicken broth. I boiled the broth with sugar, salt, curry, orange juice, and Cranberries (to soften them) and then poured it over the dried Couscous and covered it with plastic wrap for 7min and then added the rest of ingrediants. This came out wonderful! Thanks for sharing!
