    Saffron Couscous With Herbs, This is a wonderful couscous that can stand alone or will compliment a Middle Eastern inspired main dish. You can use less oil if you prefer. UPDATE: Based on some of the reviews I have increased the stock from 2 cups to 2.5 cups and I have increased the servings to 8 instead of 6. The quantity of herbs should be somewhat according to how much you like and which kind of herbs strong/mild flavour you are adding., This is a delicious couscous with lots on interesting flavors. I halved it and that worked fine. Just watch the spice, used cayenne and just one shake is powerful!!
