Loved this the first time I tried it and I have been making it more and more often since then. When I don't have preserved lemon on hand I use the zest and juice of a whole lemon and I like to saute some finely chopped onions or shallots before adding the couscous and broth. This pairs well with just about any meat. Quick, easy, and with bulk couscous and homemade preserved lemons it's fairly cheap.
