Here is how you make Herby couscous:

Cook the couscous according to the packet instructions. Stir in all the other ingredients and let the dish sit for 5 or 10 minutes to allow the flavours time to mingle. This makes a great dish in its own right - it's very filling and if I have it for lunch I don't need to eat again before dinner. It's also very tasty as a side dish, with lamb. Omitting the olive oil cuts the calorie count by 60 per serving.Number of Servings: 2Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user SALIEKAT.
