My review
Couscous Primavera
Chef John
"This is a healthy, delicious, and easy side dish that takes about 10 minutes to make.
I'm borrowing the name from Pasta Primavera which, like this recipe, takes advantage of fresh, seasonal, green produce."

I loved this recipe - definitely going to be a go-to for the summer. I did sub cilantro for the mint and served with some grilled shrimp - so good!

I made it exactly as instructed and found it very dry and rather bland despite all the spices.
