Ask a question about this stepI love raisins too - yes! Add them! let me know what you think about the results ... I am guessing they will be tasty
Delicious. I echo your vote for lemon thyme. Such an underused, unappreciated herb.
i like how you use whole wheat couscous, the pairing of shrimp and coucous is a nice one- the addition of slivered almonds rounds the dish off nicely. this is a lovely recipe.
Ha! I just realized I typoed Grilled Eggpant. I am not sure eggs have pants? So use eggplant instead.
This looks fabulous! I would be cooking it for one (me) also so the small recipe is appreciated.
All the ingredients in this recipe are my favorite ones! will definetely try! can I also add raisins? i would also add raisins...i put them almost everywhere!
