Tasty and delicious. I had no red onion or white wine vinegar so I subbed in green onion and rice wine vinegar. The dish was too spicy for the kids, but just right for the adults.
Curried Couscous with Broccoli and Feta
Using bagged broccoli florets and preshredded carrots all but eliminates the prep with this vegetarian entrée. If you want to add meat, use chopped chicken or thin strips of flank steak.
