I really like Israeli couscous, but I have never tried it that way- I should! Might especially be good if you are using it as a main dish, which I sometimes do...have also made it with bulgur wheat-
Sometimes I add a chopped shallot or sliced green onions too, makes it a little more savory..
I have also served it in hollowed out orange shell "cups", makes a nice presentation...

Sounds good Mothertrucker! Would it also be good with the larger Israeli couscous? I will have to try it both ways.

I sure think so! I love Israeli couscous from Trader Joes, also the Israeli crumbled feta they carry.
