Easy and delicious! Actually, it really doesn't get much easier than this... I just used a box of couscous and like others just added dried cranberries (to taste)which provide a really nice sweetness. This is great when you don't want to spend a lot of time on a side dish but want something that tastes good.

First time making couscous at home and it was delicious. Used Craisins and whole wheat couscous. Thanks!

This was fantastic! I sauteed 2 minced cloves of garlic in 1 T of olive oil before adding ingredients. Also, I used dried cranberries because that's what I had in the cupboard. They rehydrated beautifully and were the perfect addition of sweetness. I will make this alot!

Used dried cranberries and my oh my delicious!! Couscous on its own is very bland & the cranberries sure helped give it a tasty touch.

Very yummy. I liked the way the cherries added a bit of sweet to the meal. I didn't have any broth so I used a bouillon cube with a cup of water. Otherwise, the recipe was as written. Will make this again.

Tasted like regular couscous, but with cherries. I mean, it wasn't BAD, but I was expecting something sort of different.

I love this, but, I do find it a bit dry. So, this is what I did to solve it. I added a second T. of butter, some more water, xtra s. and p,. heated it up to warm. Very much improved. As far as blandness goes, I only use Salt and Pepper, but, I'm sure that it would be good with some other spices. Try a little bit of garlic or onion powder perhaps. Enjoy!! I heated up some Couscous that was done, heated up with a bit of broth and added a handful of cherries, s & p. You can heat this up.
