I received this recipe in my e-mail today. Thought I'd share because it sounds wonderful.

Sounds good!
I bet it would be good with quinoa instead of couscous, too.

Kathryn,

I can't find quinoa here in my area. I just found tempeh which I am going to get soon and try. I must admit though I haven't been to a health food store. There isn't one in my little town but I'm sure there is in the surrounding bigger towns and definitely Charlotte would have one. I'll try to make a trip to one and see what all I can find there soon.

Mmmmm Jane. Yummy!

I love couscous & will have to try this. Have never tried quinoa yet though.....what's the difference?

I'm not sure Becky, maybe Kathryn will pop in again and let us know.

This sounds great. Thanks for posting it.

BTW, couscous is a type of semolina pasta. Quinoa is a grain that's a complete protein.

Thanks Sparky!

Okay so quinoa would make the dish even healthier! Good to know!

>quinoa yet though.....what's the difference?

Couscous is a processed grain (actually a type of pasta), while quinoa is a whole grain that is quite nutritious, and the only grain that is a complete protein.

Now the only problem is where to find quinoa!! I have to find a health food store.
