Couscous With Olives and Lemon image

From a saved page of an old Gourmet Magazine. I prefer to use Israeli couscous, the pearl type, however you need to check package directions for additional cooking time. This was a great side dish for "Recipe#60524" Marinated Lamb Chops. I also used kalamata olives and skipped the salt.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my couscous turned out mushy. I think I might have added too much water.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more spices next time.

I love this recipe! It's so easy to make and always turns out great. I usually add a bit of chopped fresh parsley or cilantro at the end for a pop of color and flavor.

This dish was a bit too lemony for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. Otherwise, it was a great recipe and I would definitely make it again.
