This is one of those recipes you can add or subtract. Since family is not into raw peppers and squash, I sauteed them in some evoo with diced onion. I added about half the dill and cooked the couscous in 1/2 water, 1/2 chicken broth. I only added about 2 tbs of lemon juice. Had a beautiful garden fresh roma tomato, so I chopped it and added to the dish. A very tasty dish, good hot or cold
