added 563 days agoThis was very tasty but the liquid to couscous ratio should closer to 1:1. Think there must be an error in the recipe.

added 541 days agoHi MikeKT, you are correct. The amount should have been 1¼ cups couscous but accidentally the '1' was left off. The recipe is correct now. Thanks for pointing this out.
