COUSCOUS PILAF WITH SHALLOTS, GARLIC AND ALMONDS
Couscus is a super-quick side dish. For only a few minutes of extra effort you will get a much better flavor. This came from Marcus Walser in Cook's Illustrated. It was recipe of the week in The Week magazine. This is so good you may never make couscous any other way.
