No flavor...at all. It was also very dry. I followed the recipe exactly. I ended up salvaging the couscous by adding a lot of salt, garlic powder, and onion powder. Does the packaged couscous mean that it's already flavored? I used the unflavored couscous from the bulk department of the grocery store. Was this wrong???

This had a very good flavor and was easy to prepare. It needs a little more liquid because it came out a tad on the dry side.

My whole family enjoyed this recipe. In the past, we always found couscous to be kind of bland. This recipe added flavor without getting too complicated. Will be making again!

A good recipe to use when accompanying something. I wish it had a little more zing to it. I ended up using a little fresh lemon juice in mine. Gave it a little something extra. Overall, a good recipe

Good. I added the cumin like some others had suggested but, I donno, I feel like something was off with this recipe. The spice combo was alright--I just felt like something was missing. I added about 1/8 tsp lemon juice. I think a little more lemon juice would make this recipe better.

Very good and very easy! Instead of doing this in a saucepan on the stove I did it in the microwave (5-6 minutes to boil) and it was just as easy. thanks for the recipe.

I used fresh basil from the garden and other than that, followed the recipe as written. Good stuff. I think I'll make again with all fresh herbs, (maybe some fresh red onion too) and love it. Thanks!

This was our first experience with couscous and it was a hit! I did substitute Italian seasoning for the basil and parsley and used whole wheat couscous. Simple and so fast. Delicious alongside the lemon pepper salmon from this site. Thanks for the post!

This recipe was exactly what I was looking for. I am a bachelor, and I wanted a quick and good way to prepare couscous without the need to buy the prepackaged mixes. I did everything the directions called for -except- that I did not use any butter. This was accidental, but it worked fine and I intend to keep it out next time for dietary reasons. Great find.

I used Italian seasoning instead of the parsley and basil and added some cumin. It was really good!! I am going to use chicken broth instead of the water next time.
