My favorite thing about couscous? It does not need babysitting. Just pour liquid over the miniature pasta, cover it tightly, and walk away. Before serving, fluff it with a fork, and that's all you have to do! If you want to give it a larger identity, there are some great ways to dress it up, like in this recipe for Curried Couscous.
Even though my family is not a big fan of curry, this recipe was well received as a side dish for grilled chicken, particularly since it presented a nice change of pace from rice or potatoes. Take a look at all the beautiful colors in the dish. Pretty, aren't they? This stunning dish is easy on the eyes, as well as the mouth.
I halved the curry powder and substituted cilantro for parsley. Other than those changes, I made the recipe as directed and served it at room temperature (a great make-ahead dish!).

You are right, coucous is so easy to make and add such flavor to so why don't I make it more often?? I need to put a box of it in front of my face to remember that there are other things besides spaghetti and rice!Love the curry in this!
Couscous is great for it's simplicity as a side dish. I usually add caramelized onions and goat cheese to mine.
Couscous is such a fun dish to make and eat. I really love the texture. I will have to try it with curry!
I've only recently discovered couscous, and I am enamored with it. So versatile and delicious.
