This was wonderful...I made this for dinner tonight, and everyone just loved it...I made as directed, only I used a bit more onions and garlic than called for, after I added some crumbled feta cheese along with the Parmesan...what a delicious side dish, spinach is one of our favorite veggies, but I have never though of adding it with couscous, what a super combination!...this is a keeper. Thanks Nurse Di for posting, I will make this again...KC

Wow! This was amazing and so easy to make! I added more garlic and onions, and also added some chopped up chicken thighs for a heartier meal. I used 1/2 cup of parmesan and toasted pine nuts instead of pecans. We'll definitely be making this one again! Thank you for your recipe!

I have just recently discovered couscous and I have to say that I LOVE it! I am on Weight Watchers following the CORE program so I did make a few changes: -I reduced the amount of olive oil to 2tsp. -added just a sprinkle of reduced fat Parmesan cheese on my serving. -omitted the pecans -used fresh spinach -added fresh mushrooms while browning the onions This dish was very flavorful, has wonderful presentation and is also very filling. Thanks for sharing this with us NurseDi.

This was my first attempt at couscous. I was surprised at how easy this was. Pretty much an idiot proof recipe. It was quite good. I have recently taken on vegetarianism and so used vegetable broth but otherwise followed the recipe.

WONDERFUL! I made this for dinner tonight, and I was a little nervous, because my husband doesn't usually like cooked spinach, but he raved over this recipe! I omited the pecans, simply because I didn't have them, and used lime instead of lemon juice, again because that's what I had, and it still turned out great.

This was unbelievable! Everyone raved about it.(I cooked it with the Greek chicken with artichokes-Greek Chicken with Artichoke Hearts). Rave reviews for both and perfect with a crusty loaf of bread. I used Whole wheat couscous and 2 packages of raw packaged spinach- it cooks down a lot! I also added some garlic salt with the onions,garlic and olive oil. I topped it off with feta before serving and think that this really made the dish! This will be a regular recipe in my family as well as the chicken- both so easy and great presentation!!

This was incredible. My husband even liked it. Now that means it's great! Here are some of the different things I did: I used fresh spinach and cooked it down after the onions and garlic (lots) were softened. I also used my own chicken broth that I skimmed the fat. I also added fresh herbs. I minced up parsley, thyme, rosemary, basil. (You can use whatever you like I assume.) As per another reviewer I used toasted pinenuts. I used fresh squeezed lime juice. This is really a delicious recipe. I think it is really healthy too. We ate it warm like the directions said but I can’t wait to see what it tastes like cold. I hope it is good so I can take it in my lunch.
