Made this (kinda). Didn't have green onions. Diced one small onion. Did not have red pepper so omitted. Didn't have basil so used oregano (teaspoon for my taste). Omitted salt. Sauteed onion & garlic for 5 minutes. Then added the tomatoes, which I quartered. Sauteed that for 2 minutes. Added the oregano and cooked couscous. Will be making this again. You can vary this anyway you like

This is my new favorite recipe! Modified this recipe a bit. Used garlic chicken broth instead of water and added yellow squash, zucchini, and mushrooms (you really can throw any veggie in there.) Spooned the end results into some peppers and made a vegetarian stuffed pepper. So good, I'm eating the leftovers right now for lunch!

This was really good. Next time I will just use chopped tomatoes, I didn't think the whole cherry tomatoes went very well in this.

Really, really tasty. I didn't have tomatoes or basil. I used all the veggies and parsley instead. Sprinkled with balsamic and wine.

Very good couscous recipe. Followed almost exactly, just used yellow bell pepper instead of red and used regular tomatoes. Only complaint this recipe makes just 3 portions, so next time I will definitely double the recipe.

omg! I never review but this is fantastic! I too used chicken stock and all I had was Israeli couscous and this recipe will become a staple in my house! Excellent!

This is ok, but a little bland. Since there's not an overpowering flavor in it, it makes a good side. Would go well with something spicy because it would absorb the spice and cleanse the palate. Not hard to make at all.

Excellent! Added about 1 cup extra veggies - more peppers & mushrooms. Also used vegetable stock instead of water.

Doubled recipe. Used vegetable broth instead of water. Added about 1/3 cup chopped fennel. Didn't include parmesan cheese (since eating with tilapia with basil cream sauce). David loved. Went back for 2nds.
