Often thought to be a grain, couscous is actually a tiny semolina pasta that is commonly used in middle-eastern dishes. Israeli couscous is regular couscous's fat cousin, and I actually prefer it to regular couscous because it has more substance to it. It's just as versatile as pasta and is great for making a dish that you can eat all week when you're living on a budget. The following dish is simple, fast and you can always change it up to make it with whatever vegetables you happen to have in your kitchen.
