Your thoughts…

  1. I like the rich colour that the tomatoes give to the couscous.

  2. I always find couscous very dry and bland. Do the tomatoes give it a moister feel in the mouth? I can imagine it has great flavour.

  3. Thank you for the comments :)

    Amelita – Yes tomatoes add a little bit moister and the same olive oil… this is one of my favourites way to eat couscous except the
