Couscous With Olives and Lemon image

From a saved page of an old Gourmet Magazine. I prefer to use Israeli couscous, the pearl type, however you need to check package directions for additional cooking time. This was a great side dish for "Recipe#60524" Marinated Lamb Chops. I also used kalamata olives and skipped the salt.
