This is beautiful and tasty. I doubled the recipe and added a bullion cube, for a little salt and flavor. Goes well with chicken roasted with rosemary as well. My husband, who is very hard to please, loved this! We normally have couscous with some type of fish as a main dish, but decided to do chicken to change it up a little.
