I thought this was great! For me, a beginning cook, it provided a great side dish as well as a recipe base I intend to use many more times. I agree that it was a bit dry, though the water-to-couscous ratio did match what was recommended on the couscous package. I'll be upping the amount of water and seasoning next time, relative to the amount of couscous I use. I'll also add more of each seasoning recommended, and will probably tweak it depending on what I have available. One reviewer said that this has the flavor of something that would come from a seasoning packet -- I agree with that somewhat, but to me that's a positive. My husband and I love the pre-seasoned boxes of couscous with spice packs, and this recipe is the closest I've found to a simple, inexpensive recipe that packs a good side-dish punch. I expect we'll make this many, many times. It comes together quickly and makes use of ingredients I almost always have on hand. Thanks!
