Hi ……recipe sounds great. Can I ask (being somewhat of a beginner at the old cooking lark) can I make this the day before or will the couscous go mushy…??

Thank you for this recipe! So tasty! I did it with lentils instead of chick peas, and dispensed with the pepper entirely- a variation that I thought turned out well :).

Robert, that’s great to hear you’ve become a couscous convert! Glad we could help out.

Emily made this tonight using your recipe (thanks!) and it was terrific!
I really enjoyed the various flavors that you experience in this dish. I was a little fearful of couscous from past times I’d had it thinking it was a bit dull, but then it was also served straight up as a side dish with little else to it. I now realize that in a combination such as this, it is complimented by everything and it really makes this so enjoyble. I’ve always loved chickpeas when used creatively as well. Nicely done!

Ric you were right, this is really similar to my recipe http://www.mostlyeating.com/2008/08/a_mix_and_match_recipe_for_a_wholegrain_salad.html

Love the addition of chickpeas (I sometimes put chickpeas in mine but not often as my husband complains about them!)

Emily: That’s handy having most of the ingredients already! And yes, this is perfect picnic and barbecue food — and it can even be heated up and served hot.

Lovelyn: Hope you enjoy it as much as Ric and I did

Jack: I like your creative substitutions…and your reaction to 8 dollars a gallon is exactly how I feel!

I’m going to try this one tonight. However, will sub rice for couscous. A tiny 12 oz. box is 3 bucks vs. Give us a break already. 1.69 for a pound of brown rice. No red peppers. Green are .33 each. Reds are unbelievable. Love your ideas. Keep ‘em coming. 8!!! a gallon! AAAAGGGHH!

Trudy, that looks fantastic and so healthy! I’m always looking for new and interesting protein packed meals…I’m totally going to make this (printing recipe as I type!) since I think I have almost all the ingredients already. This looks like a great dish to bring along to a picnic or barbecue too.

And 8 dollars a gallon? Ouch! To think I was offended by the 4 dollar gas around my neighborhood! (Speaking of which…your neighborhood is gorgeous!)
