Story
|
Couscous is basically a wheat product that is served in many dishes the same way as rice - under meat and vegetables, or mixed in. It cooks fast and that is a nice benefit for using couscous. For instance, if you prep your veggies during the soaking time, this dish can be ready in under 10 minutes! That's a great advantage to using couscous, especially when you have a hungry family waiting patiently for dinner. Enjoy1
