This is one of our favorite side dishes! I've use all different kinds of vegetables and it always turns out great! Great way to use up veggies in the fridge.

I used this as a base and made many changes. The reviews stated this as bland so I tried to add flavour in many ways. I added 5 cloves of garlic, snow peas, onion, and the red pepper. It was stir fried in a mix of olive oil, butter and sesame oil. After it was cooked I added twice the amount of balsamic vinegar. The couscous was cooked in beef broth . The veggies had a lot of flavour but the couscous itself was still bland.

Does need a little bit more flavor. Next time, I will try using chicken broth for the couscous. Overall, very simple to prepare. I did serve this with a marinated grilled pork tenderloin.

Used Newman's dressing for marinade, and the vegetables turned out wonderfully. Used broiler, since we can't have a grill in our apartment. Next time I will add more vegetables for variety.

Good, easy, but needs a kick. I marinated the veggies in olive oil and balsamic vinegar for a short while before grilling. Then, the left over oil mixture from the marinade I added to the cooked couscous, which stepped it up a bit, along with some pepper. The dish looks nice with the veggies laid out on top, but still there was something missing. Serving with mango chutney was the answer, and then the meal felt complete and satisfying.

Tasty. I also added tofu and red onion and drizzled balsamic, oil, s&p on the veggies before I broiled them. Made whole wheat couscous with vege bouillon. Will make again!

I added two chicken boullion cubes to the water which gave the couscous some flavor and used roasted tomatoes and red onions as that was all I had around. I sprinkled it with balsamic vinegar dressing which gave it some great flavor. It turned out pretty good...I will definately make this recipe again, my three year old loved it!

This was a little bland. While I will make it again, I'll make some changes, like using broth instead of water and adding some roasted onions with the other veggies.

Okay...the first time around, I made this as a side dish for some pork chops. My fiance said it was bland. There were leftovers, since he wasn't fond of it (I thought it was okay). Anyways, the next day, I sauteed some tofu and threw the leftover couscous in, making a vegetarian skillet dinner of sorts. It was awesome!! I highly recommend adding the tofu.

This was pretty good. I actually cut the veggies up really small and mixed them in with the couscous. Thought maybe I could get my son to eat it, but no such luck. Made a very nice side dish for my husband and I though.

Very yummy and filling! I would drizzle the oil and vinegar on the veggies after you put them on the couscous to serve, b/c ours was a little bland. I might add some salt and pepper, too. But great and easy!
