Does anyone cook with couscous or have any good recipes to share? Looking for something meat free and healthy. I tried my hand at making a couscous salad, loosely following a recipe online including:
-Raisins
-Toasted Almonds
-Lemon Zest
-Green Onions
-Lemon juice and curry spice
It sounds strange but I am really liking the combination of the curry and the lemon. Who would have thunk!
Have you ever made couscous? Please share!

Have never made it and not sure how easy it would be to make. The one you have mentioned here sounds interesting.

I've never tried couscous. It never appealed to me but after seeing your picture it does look good. Maybe I'll have to give it a try

No, i haven't but would like to try it someday. It's not a common staple here so it's kinda hard to find it at stores.

I make something called tabule. Check it online. It has cucumber and fresh mint among other things.

Is this a tabouleh or a couscous ? What we call couscous here is a hot dish while a tabouleh is a cold dish. With onions and lemon, I think it is a tabouleh. A good tabouleh for summer days is a mint tabouleh : couscous semolina, olive oil, pepper, lemon juice, small pieces of tomatoes, minced parsley, and a lot of minced fresh mint leaves. Raisins and a bit of mustard optional. It is served very cold.

I made it once, but my husband didn't like the texture of it. I'd eat it again.

Yes, I have made it. I am not fond of the recipe I tried. I am not really into curry, every now and then I will make curry chicken, maybe once a year, or two.
