Mushroom Couscous
a deliciously easy meal
I really enjoy making couscous as I inevitably have leftovers, and oh how easy that makes life! Try substituting rice or potatoes with couscous. It is really quite a versatile dish – be sure to see my citrus couscous recipe as well. I would serve this with Whole Roasted Chicken and a green salad for a delicious meal.
