Best Sesame Fried Couscous Recipes
SESAME COUSCOUS SALAD
A combination of simple ingredients that results in amazing flavor. You can use pretty much any grain you like in this salad, from couscous to bulgur to quinoa to millet, etc. (whatever you prefer, really), just make sure to adjust the cooking time for the grain to fit the type you're using! This can easily become a vegetarian meal if you omit the chicken breast (and it's really good either way!).

A quick, light couscous stir-fry with Indian flavors. Great for vegetarians, but easily adapted into a chicken dish. Feel free to substitute veggies any way you like.

Can be served with plain yogurt.
