Chop up some onions and boil them in the broth, sprinkle in some black pepper...Yummy! I have also mixed some BBQ sauce with it and that is good too. The chicken broth is the key...otherwise it tastes like cardboard.

The couscous I use is just dry (looks kind of like large grains of sand ;-) ). It is not for everyone, but I like it. It is quick (only the time to boil the liquid +1 minute to cook the couscous), easy (just add and stir) and tastes good. You can even use dehydrated chopped onions or veggies if you dont have time to chop. The key is really the chicken broth. Like I said, it is not so great with just water then you have to add butter and other stuff to give it flavor. With chicken broth, there is enough flavor. Let me know ifyou try it.

Try flavoring it was garlic, salt, and pepper, and putting it inside stuff- use it instead of rice in cabbage rolls. -------------- Think you can or think you can't; either way you're right--Goethe
