If you can boil water then you can make this! A great way to liven up plain couscous especially if you love roasted red peppers as much as i do. You may have to go to a specialty grocery to find the nicoise olives (i havent looked for them in a regular grocery- they may have them im not sure) Anyway good luck and happy cooking.

This recipe was a disaster! The couscous was mushy and the roasted red peppers were burnt. I won't be making this again.

I made this recipe for a picnic and it was perfect! It's easy to transport and it tastes just as good at room temperature.

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I think it could have used more spices or herbs.

I'm not usually a fan of couscous, but this recipe changed my mind. The roasted red peppers and feta cheese really elevated the dish.

This dish was simple to make and turned out great! I used a store-bought roasted red pepper and it still tasted amazing.
