7 Reviews of Couscous With Corn

This was such a simple side and really added a nice bit of flavor to my couscous. The surprise was that it was the combination of the shallots and corn that really made the dish and gave this a rounded and slightly sweet flavor. I ended up tossing in some fresh basil ribbons in place of the cayenne and that took this to a new level as the herb elevated the sweetness of he fresh corn. My one commment was that at the end of the cooking time, my couscous was still rather hard as there was not enough liquid. I ended up bringing another 1/2 cup of broth to a boil in a separate pot, adding it to the couscous and letting it seep an additional 3 minutes. Thanks.

This was very good! A little on the plain side flavor-wise, but paired brilliantly with Kittencal's Easy and Delicious Ranch-Parmesan Chicken (which was a little on the spicier side). I had about 1/2 cup corn and just 2/3 cup couscous I needed to use, but after reading the couscous package directions (which called for 1 cup liquid for that amount of couscous) I used what I had and left all the other ingredient amounts the same. I'm a recent convert to couscous (never cared for it much in the past) and I liked the sweetness that the corn & shallot added. Thanks so much for the recipe!

This was my first time making couscous. I had more than the 1/3 cup of corn, had to use up the rest of the bag. It turned out fantastic. I'm a big couscous fan now! The cayenne is a must! I also added some garlic, I love garlic. I had to send this one to my son in college as they are trying couscous also. Thanks for a great recipe.

As written, a little bland for our taste, but easily salvagable with the addition of a little more cayenne and some fresh herbs.

So simple and delicious. We all liked it. We didn't have shallot so we skipped the step 2. We used a can of corn and it was still good but next time I'll try with frozen corn. Thanks Wi Cheesehead. Made for Zaar Star Game.

The family enjoyed this dish - plenty of flavour. We served it with the Oven Fried Garlic chicken (recipe 83561) and this was a good match.
