I made this recipe last night to go with pork chops. We loved it. I used parsley since my cilantro isnt growiing yet but very good. Thank you for sharing your recipe with me.

This was my first time making and eating couscous. I followed the recipe exactly as written (using the fresh parsley instead of the coriander) and was very pleased with the result. I really liked the chicken stock, garlic and onions in this dish. This recipe is very aptly named, it does make for a very savoury side dish. Recipenapped for the February 2012 Aus/NZ Swap.
