7I just had this for lunch today, actually! It's one of my favourite meals. Delicious.
8Oh, and it's also good with sweet potato. If you're in a rush, too, just tossing couscous with diced tomatoes, chick peas, diced sweet potato, zucchini and pumpkin, with salt and pepper, and a little olive oil and balsamic vinegar or lemon juice is incredibly yummy.
9I love couscous. I love Moroccan food in general. I LOVE chicken Tajine.
I love Middle Eastern food too, mostly Lebanese. Oooh, I love Indian food too, but that's not Middle Eastern, it's more Asian.
10That looks great!!
