Execellent! A great meal for the bbq. I've made it a couple of times and loved it.

This recipe works great as a side dish. I used feta cheese instead of Parmesan cheese and I added raisons to give it a little more flavor. My only real problem with this type of couscous is that I find it can be a little dry. As a result I like to serve it with a main dish that has sauce. I have had comments from some that they would have liked a dressing, perhaps a vinigrette, or something of that nature. All in all it is a great recipe and the green and red peppers definitely make it a christmas side dish. Cheers,Glen

I made this for a Christmas Potluck and it was a complete success! BUT I have to be honest, I didn't really follow this recipe at all. I decided to make both a veggie and meat version. In the veggie version I put spinach, feta, havarti, mozzarella, cheddar, celery, black olives, green onions, cilantro, and a pinch of pepper. In the meat version I put spinach, a tin of salmon, a touch of mayo, feta, cheddar, mozzarella, celery, cilantro, and a pinch of pepper. In both cases all ingredients where finely chopped. Why all these ingredients you ask? I wanted to please both my vergiterian and meat lover friends, and that's what I had in the fridge. I think the key is to make sure it's a mixture that has a little bit of stickyness, otherwise it all falls apart when trying to put it in the pastry. This delicious appetizer was a huge hit. I definitely recommend being a little creative and having fun with this one. Cheers Glen
