    I Buy Cousc Ous From My Local halal shop.
    excellent price and quality.
    Every day above ground is a good one ;)
  • half a cup of cous cous with a hot hot chocolate drink poured over(highlights sachet or whatever, made up) and left to soak it up, then warmed up is lovely, like chocolate rice pudding sort of.

  • They sound great, with try them with a few herbs in with the sausage casserole!! I have some lamb chops in the freezer so going to give all the suggestions a go. Wonder if they noticed if I served the chocolate cous cous for dessert as well as giving them cous cous for dinner?? hee hee!

  • some one must have read my mind. Bought some cous cous last week and was wondering what I should do with it. Have some tins of chick peas in cupboard, bits of veg in fridge,chicken stock in freezer and can get some fresh corriander from local shop. Roast veg with chick peas and corriander, MMmmmmmm!

    I found it to be cheap and available in most health foods type shops and bags in supermarkets. The expensive way to buy it is in a box, especially if it has something like tomatoes or lemon added to it!

    Cut the top off some peppers and cut out the seeds etc. Now fill with cooked cous cous and put in oven for 10 mins, lovely stuffed peppers!

    BTW, I should say, I buy the sachets of Cous Cous from the supermarket ready flavoured so obviously if you buy plain you will want to flavour it first!
