5 stars for ease of use...oil is quick and handy vs butter at the right temperature to set well. Fast, easy, no-fail recipe with great flavor.

I'm extremely liberal when it comes to following instructions, so usually recipes are more like 'inspiration' or 'starting points' for me. This was a great inspiration. I took veggies from my garden--long/slender eggplants, basque grilling peppers, summer squash, zucchini, and cherry tomatoes--and simply grilled them in a fry pan w/olive oil, sea salt and pepper. When tender, I added a tbsp or two of balsamic at the end and then poured atop the couscous. I reserved some veggies just to eat plain and they were delicious!!! I can see making half/half couscous and quinoa in the future to make it more healthy. Easy recipe to improvise/change to your liking. Great recipe for people like me that can't seem to follow strict instructions!!! Healthy, tasty, and beautiful on a large serving platter!

BEST RECIPE EVER. PERIOD. My husband has 3 chocolate chip cookies and milk every night (15+years), and he has tried every recipe under the moon. This one beats them all hands down. Our decade-long search for the perfect recipe is over, thankfully.
