This was my first time making couscous. It wasn't bad. I thought there would be more flavor to it, cause it looked so flavorfull and pretty but it was still a little bland. After my mom and I started to eat it I added some crushed canned tomatoes to it to try and add some more flavor. I felt it helped a bit. I will definatly try to make another couscous recipe.

This is a simple and tasty recipe. I don't worry about baking it -- it is ready to eat out of the skillet.

This really was good cous cous! Everyone commented on how light and fresh it tasted and that it was a nice change from same old potatoes or rice pilaf. The balsamic and parmesan really made this dish.

This was reallt good and healthy! I used chicken broth in place of water and 1 cup worked just fine. I did not think it was too dry as others had mentioned. I also used less of the olive oil and omitted the parmesan cheese just because I thought it tasted great without it.

I scaled this recipe up and made it for a dinner party. It was really easy to make and tasted wonderful. No one left any behind on their plate--yummy!

What a great way to make couscous! My husband hasn't been a fan in the past, but he loved this recipe. Very tasty, yet very healthy too! The balsamic vinegar adds a nice extra flavor (I used more than the recipe called for since I love it).

I liked this recipe very much. As others have said, there is no need to bake it. It's table ready right out of the pan and it's such a pretty, colorful dish to serve company. I also used chicken broth in place of the water and I didn't have any fresh basil left so I used 1/4 cup of dried basil. It was great!

It was a good side dish but nothing too special. kudos for different though. Next time I will use some chicken broth if I have it on hand. I will also add in some corn and chopped sweet onions too.

This was pretty good! I followed this recipe almost as written...I was going to add veggie stock...and forgot. I used grated white cheddar and diced heirloom tomatoes which I thought made it moist and added a great flavour (perfect with the basil, balsamic, and white cheddar.) Without the stock I did find I used extra salt and even put in a bit of Old Bay. I would make this again

The Cous Cous is cooked after standing for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork, then add the other ingredients and it is table-ready, either warm or cold. Absolutely no need to bake it. Other good additions are Feta cheese and toasted pine nuts (pignoli, also known as pinoli). Enjoy.

This was good but it was the first time my family has tried couscous so it was a little wierd eating. My husband did not like it but because it was couscous not the recipe. The reciepe was easy and really good made this with a bomb garlic chicken(See recipe for this chicken) and some asparagus. Great dinner!

Very good, healthy, and quick. I cut the cherry tomatoes in halves and mixed extra parmesan into the couscous as well as added it on top. I'm not sure why you need to bake it; I think it could probably go right from the stovetop to the table. I also cooked the couscous in chicken broth and think that next time I would add a little italian seasoning.

We were out of the vinegar and it still turned out great. Not sure how people think this is bland! I did use chicken broth, and fresh basil! We loved it! I will make this again! Thanks for a quick & easy recipe!

made a few changes; used veggie broth instead of water and used white onions instead of green. Pretty good. Hubby liked it, to my surprise:)

Needed a quick side dish. Served this with steak and salad - and it really went over well. I didn't have tomatoes or enough fresh basil, but it didn't seem to matter. The couscous was very flavorful. I got lots of compliments!

I didn't add the green pepper so maybe that's what was missing. Extra balsamic, cooking the couscous in broth and pepper helped add some flavor. Kind of bland.

Very bland. I think we would have been better off doing couscous out of a box mix from the market.
