COUSCOUS..THEY LIKED IT SO MUCH THEY NAMED IT TWICE!Probably the easiest dish to prepare, it's just a matter of adding something original, exotic or simple! This is simple and just a bit different. I like to serve it with chicken or fish. Your choice. It goes so well with either. I also like it as is, with a salad, some crusty bread, and a nice light Riesling. Cheers!

Any meal that takes about 10 minutes to prepare, gets a gold star in my book.
