I got this recipe from the Rachel Ray Show. I make it with Recipe #195552 - a great combination that my family loved - my almost 14 year old daughter actually ate everything on her plate!! ;) Love or hate RR, Don't knock it till you try it.

The couscous was a bit dry. I think I'll add more liquid next time.
