Directions
Couscous With Moroccan Spices, A nicely flavored couscous from The New Vegetarian Epicure Posted for ZWT III, North Africa and the Middle East , What wonderful flavour the sauce imparted to the plain couscous I made ahead and added the lime at the last moment, I scaled it back to use 2/3 cup couscous as I usually find this perfect as a side for 3 of us but we were all wishing there was more, so will have to up the quantity in the future Thank you pattikay, made for I Recommend
