At first glance this recipe sounded a little odd, but we're adventurous so I added it to our testing menu. Some of the measurements seem a bit off which is why I'm only giving it 4 stars. Here's what I changed: reduced onion to 1 cup; reduced carrots to 1 cup; 3 cups of milk is WAY too much for only 1 cup of couscous so I used 1 1/2 cups milk. The end result? Really (and unexpectedly) delicious! I would definitely make this again. The milk gives it a risotto-like creaminess and the abundance of vegetables make this a more hearty side dish.
