EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

Now you can get whole wheat couscous, whole-grain pasta buds that look so close to regular couscous, the kids will never know the difference. Tarragon is a nice touch with mild-tasting couscous, but cut back a bit if it is not your favorite flavor. Or you can double the amount of parsley and leave out the tarragon.
