Inspired by Sackville Girl's recipe for Lemon Couscous, but different enough to post another recipe. I've allowed for standing time in the cooking time. Omit the butter and add additonal oil for a vegan dish.

This recipe was a disaster! The couscous was mushy and the lemon flavor was overpowering. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

I thought this recipe was just okay. The couscous was a bit bland, and I didn't really taste the lemon flavor. I think I would have liked it more if I had added more lemon juice.

I love that this recipe is so versatile. I've made it with different types of vegetables, and it always turns out great. I also like to add a bit of feta cheese or crumbled goat cheese for extra flavor.
