The juices from the red wine sauce make this dish even more delightful, but it can also stand perfectly fine on its own.

I’ve eaten leftover couscous for breakfast on more than one occasion, I love the texture and consistency of the cute miniature pastas.

Plus whenever I eat it, I feel all exotic, I didn’t get the chance to eat couscous growing up, so when I it was introduced as an adult it became a cool addition to the kitchen repertoire.

This dish is super simple with beautiful color and subtle notes of refreshing flavors, that will please you and your family.
