Tester chose the recipe from The Barefoot Contessa Cookbook on page 94. Great Choice! You can also go to the Food Network site and find the recipe. I have never made couscous so easily in my life! I LOVE this recipe! Especially boiling a liquid and pouring directly on the couscous to steam cook by placing Saran wrap over the bowl. Ingenious. The idea is simple and I have no idea why I did not think of trying this before. Well, now we all know.I changed the recipe just a wee bit by replacing water with chicken broth, adding an extra Tablespoon of butter because I had 2 Tablespoons sitting out on the counter and I used Craisins instead of raisins. Curry is not a spice that is used in my kitchen very often so the idea of making this dish was not making me jump for joy.
Result: The dish is versatile and can easily be the center of a meal. Adding any type of meat would not detract from the curried couscous. Easy and fast to prepare along with being colorful makes the dish one that I would share with company. Very tasty!
I am still playing catch-up with everything so, once again, I have made the dish the day we are suppose to post. To see everyone else's take on this fun dish just click on this Barefoot Blogger link =).
