Got this recipe from a friend that lived in Morocco for years so she gave me this recipe we really love the taste. It is great with chicken, fish and lamb. the intense flavor comes from soaking the couscous and raisins in the hot honey-lemon vinaigrette do not use the tiny baby carrots as they lack the flavor of larger baby carrots.

This sounds delish. I'm making it this week to go with a Moroccan chicken recipe I found on this site.

Made this tonight and it was great. The only difference is I used Stock instead of broth, omitted the raisins (I always do, I don't like raisins except in my cereal), and used one whole box of the 5 minute couscous. I had to increase the stock amount...more
